The Williams College Economics Department invites applications for a tenure-track appointment beginning July 1, 2018. The position is open to any field.

Additionally, we seek candidates who can contribute to the diversity and excellence of the academic community through their scholarship, teaching and/or service; and we especially encourage applications from members of historically underrepresented groups in the field. Candidates should have a Ph.D, or all requirements for the Ph.D. degree, completed by September 2018. Exceptional candidates at a senior level will also be considered.

We are a department of active scholars (http://econ.williams.edu/) and currently have 24 tenured or tenure-track faculty members. In addition to our undergraduate program, we operate and staff the Center for Development Economics (http://cde.williams.edu/), which offers an MA in Policy Economics.
