Description:

The Department of Economics in the Faculty of Arts & Science at the University of Toronto, St. George campus invites applications for a full-time tenure stream appointment in the area of Economics. The appointment will be at the rank of Associate Professor or Professor, with an expected start date of July 1, 2024, or shortly thereafter.

Candidates must have earned a PhD degree in Economics, with a clearly demonstrated exceptional record of excellence in research and teaching in Economics. We seek candidates whose research and teaching interests complement and strengthen our existing departmental strengths. Candidates will have an established international reputation and will be expected to sustain and lead innovative and independent research at the highest international level and to maintain an outstanding, competitive, and externally funded research program. The position comes with undergraduate and graduate teaching responsibilities. More broadly, candidates are expected to contribute actively to the intellectual life of the department. Candidates are also expected to show evidence of a commitment to equity, diversity, inclusion (EDI), and the promotion of a respectful and collegial learning and working environment demonstrated through the application materials.

The successful candidate will have an established reputation in research with internationally recognized scholarship. Evidence of excellence in research is required, as demonstrated by the submitted research statement, prestigious accolades from within the field, evidence of an externally funded program of research, a publication record in top-ranked Economics and field-relevant academic journals, presentations at major conferences, other noteworthy activities that contribute to the visibility and prominence of the discipline, and strong endorsements by referees of high standing.

Evidence of excellence in teaching will be provided through teaching accomplishments (which must include PhD supervision), the teaching dossier submitted as part of the application including a strong teaching statement, sample course syllabi, and the teaching evaluations, as well as strong letters of reference. The full list of required application materials is described below.

Salary and rank will be commensurate with qualifications and experience.

Applications must be submitted online at https://econjobmarket.org/. A complete application will include a current curriculum vitae, a research statement outlining current and future research interests, one recent publication, a teaching dossier (which includes a statement of teaching philosophy, sample syllabi, and teaching evaluations), and three letters of reference (on letterhead, dated, and signed) uploaded directly by referees. We seek candidates who value diversity and whose research, teaching and service bear out our commitment to equity and inclusion. Candidates are therefore also asked to submit a 1-2 page statement of contributions to EDI, which might cover topics such as (but not limited to): research or teaching that incorporates a focus on underrepresented communities, the development of inclusive pedagogies, or the mentoring of students from underrepresented groups.
