Job Announcement at Department of Economics, Pacific Lutheran University

Environmental Economics

The Department of Economics at Colby College invites applications for a tenure-track position in environmental economics at the assistant or advanced assistant level beginning in September 2012.

The Department of Economics has a distinguished history of being a leader in environmental economics and Colby has a vibrant Environmental Studies program with strength in environmental policy, providing opportunities for interdisciplinary collaborations. In addition to teaching introductory and advanced courses in environmental and natural resource economics appropriate for both the Department of Economics and the Environmental Studies program, candidates should be able to contribute to teaching the core Economics curriculum (introductory economics, intermediate theory, and/or econometrics). Colby College expects both excellent teaching and published research and provides substantial support for career development in both areas. Candidates should be able to complete a Ph.D. in economics by August 2012.

To be considered for an interview at the January 6-8, 2012 ASSA meetings in Chicago, send curriculum vitae, graduate transcript, reprint of published work or a completed working paper of current research, official summaries of teaching evaluations, and a brief statement of teaching philosophy by November 14, 2011.

Electronic submissions in a pdf-formatted file are required and should be submitted via email to environmentaleconjob@colby.edu. Electronic copies of three letters of recommendation are also required by this deadline, either by email or submitted through econjobmarket.org. Additional applications may be reviewed until the position is filled.

Colby is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action employer, committed to excellence through diversity, and strongly encourages applications and nominations of persons of color, women, and members of other under-represented groups.
