Requirements

Applicants must have a doctorate in finance or economics at the time of application and have a record of high-quality research and a track record of publications in top-tier finance and economics journals or ample evidence of the ability to publish in such journals, and have demonstrated effective teaching at the university level.

Responsibilities

The successful candidate is expected to teach in both the undergraduate and graduate programs of the Department, especially courses such as Corporate Finance, Derivatives, Analysis of Fixed Income and Econometrics.

COVID-19 Immunization Requirement

Under Policy 60.1.35 [https://policies.rutgers.edu/60-1-35-currentpdf], Rutgers University requires all prospective employees to provide proof that they are fully vaccinated and have received a booster (where eligible) against COVID-19 prior to commencement of employment, unless the University has granted the individual a medical or religious exemption. Prospective employees who are not eligible for a booster at the time of an offer of employment must provide proof they have received a booster within two weeks (14 calendar days) of eligibility [https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/booster-shot.html]. Based on current guidance, individuals are considered fully vaccinated against COVID-19 two weeks after receiving the final dose of any COVID-19 vaccine authorized or approved for use in the United States by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and recommended by the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Eligibility for a booster against COVID-19 varies and is explained on the University’s web site located at https://coronavirus.rutgers.edu/covid-19-vaccine. Failure to provide proof of primary vaccination and booster will result in rescission of a prospective employee’s offer of employment and/or disciplinary action up to and including termination.
