Apply By: Open until filled

Description

The Department of Economics at The University of Texas at Austin is seeking a faculty member to contribute to a University-wide cluster hiring initiative in biosocial approaches to understanding health disparities. We are seeking a productive scholar whose research focuses on identifying and understanding how social and biological factors interact to influence health across the life course and create health inequities. The position will be at the Advanced Assistant or Associate/Full level, and duties will include teaching at the undergraduate and graduate levels, research, and service. Applicants must have a PhD in Economics, have a clearly defined and productive research agenda, and demonstrate a commitment to teaching excellence.

Qualifications

The successful candidate for this position will be joining the UT Austin faculty as part of the Cluster and Interdisciplinary Hiring Initiative. This initiative is designed to supplement departmentally-based hiring practices and norms and extend collaborative research and scholarship. This new initiative is authorizing up to 40 new faculty hires whose interdisciplinary areas of knowledge cross the boundaries of existing academic departments. The selected candidate will be expected to actively participate as a core member of “Biosocial Approaches to Health Disparities.” Contributions to the cluster will be an important facet of the faculty member's annual performance evaluations and consideration for promotion/tenure. Interdisciplinary cluster hiring in biosocial approaches to health disparities is coordinated by the Population Research Center (PRC).

Application Instructions

Interested candidates should submit a cover letter that includes a description of current and planned research, fit with the cluster hiring initiative in biosocial approaches to health disparities, fit with the Population Research Center, a curriculum vitae, and the names and contact information of three references to: applyinterfolio.com. Questions about the position may be directed to the chair of the Economics department, Dr. Jason Abrevaya, abrevaya@austin.utexas.edu. Review of applications will begin on October 15, 2019. The University of Texas is an AA/EEO employer.
