Open Rank, Economics, Politics, and History, UATX

UATX invites applications for multiple faculty positions in the Center for Economics, Politics, and History (CEPH), to begin on or after 1 July 2024. Rank: open. Specializations: Microeconomics, Macroeconomics, Economic History, Econometrics, and Political Science. Teaching load: six class hours per week during term-time, or the equivalent of 2/2 in the American semester system. Salary: highly competitive.

CEPH directly supports the core mission of UATX. The University strives to build and sustain a community based on the lively clash of ideas and opinions in an atmosphere of open inquiry and civil discourse. Treasuring both the wisdom of the past and the transformative potential of novel ideas, we seek to preserve and transmit humanity’s rich intellectual, scientific, artistic, and cultural inheritance while vigorously pursuing the discovery, creation, and communication of new knowledge. These endeavors depend on fostering an environment of intellectual freedom and pluralism.

Like all faculty at UATX, faculty in CEPH will be expected to maintain the highest standards of pedagogical excellence, to be available in person and in office on the days they teach, to attend weekly common lectures and other academic events outside the classroom, to advise students academically, and to supervise them as they work on their individual Polaris projects (in which students build, create, or discover something that serves the human good).

To apply, please provide: (1) a curriculum vitae; and (2) a cover letter that addresses your interest in, and qualifications for, a faculty position in CEPH, as well as your commitment to UATX’s principles. These materials may be submitted at uaustin.org/jobs. Inquiries may be directed to the Provost, Jacob Howland (jhowland@uauastin.org). Candidates being considered for interviews will be invited to submit samples of research and a list of references. Review of applications will begin 1 November 2023 and continue until available positions are filled.
