Luther College seeks a Visiting Assistant Professor or Instructor of Economics for a one-year position, with the possibility of renewal, to begin fall 2023. Luther College is an undergraduate liberal arts college with a population of sixteen-hundred students. Our faculty and students are highly engaged in academics and research, music programs, athletics, sustainability, and service. Founded in 1861 by Norwegian immigrants, Luther values its heritage, just as it values the diversity of its students, staff, and faculty, who hail from many faith backgrounds and heritages. Coming from 44 states and 60 countries, 13% of our students are domestic students of color and 11% are international students.

Our location in the beautiful Driftless region of Northeast Iowa offers a wealth of opportunities not often found in small towns. The economic vitality of the Decorah area is attributable to being a regional hub for outdoor recreation, two nationally recognized healthcare systems, top ranked schools, business, agriculture, specialty retail, dining and tourism. In a scenic rural setting, we are an easy 70-mile drive to three urban areas including Rochester, MN, home of Mayo Clinic and an IBM major campus.

Luther College is committed to increasing the diversity of our faculty, with a focus on mentoring and providing development opportunities and support to new faculty cohorts. This support includes new faculty workshops, development and research funding, faculty mentoring groups, programming by the Center for Excellence in Learning and Teaching, providing membership to the National Center for Faculty Development and Diversity (NCFDD), and opportunities through the Associated Colleges of the Midwest (ACM).  Applicants from historically underrepresented groups, in particular ethnic, racial and gender groups are encouraged to become a candidate for the following position.

Positions and Qualifications:  The Economics, Accounting and Management Department invites applications for this one-year visiting faculty position in Economics, with the possibility of renewal, to begin late August 2023. Applicants should hold a Ph.D. or be ABD. The successful candidates will demonstrate teaching excellence, a commitment to mentoring and advising students, and a passion for the liberal arts. Strong applicants from all fields will be considered, although preference will be given to candidates who are able to teach statistics, econometrics, or intermediate theory courses, as well as elective courses in the candidate’s field. Teaching load is seven courses per year, spread over the fall, January, and spring terms. Opportunities exist for funding to pursue scholarship.

Apply:  Review of applications begins immediately and continues until the position are filled.  Apply at www.luther.edu/offices/hr/careers. Applicant’s dossier will include:

  • letter of application (please summarize how your background qualifies you for this position and briefly reflect on the strengths you would bring to Luther College)
  • curriculum vitae
  • statement concerning teaching philosophy
  • evidence of teaching effectiveness
  • unofficial graduate and undergraduate transcripts
  • three references (requests for letters of recommendation will be sent later in the search process)

Inquiries about the position may be directed to Steve Holland, Search Chair, Department of Economics, Accounting, and Management, Luther College, Decorah, IA 52101; email:  steve.holland@luther.edu.  Additional information about the college is available by visiting the college website, www.luther.edu.  Questions regarding the application process should be directed to facultysearch@luther.edu.
