The Fletcher School at Tufts University invites applications for a tenure track faculty position at the rank of Assistant Professor beginning in September 2024. We are looking for candidates who are committed to excellence in teaching, research, and service.
The Fletcher School is open to candidates with a variety of research agendas, area specializations, and methodological approaches relating to microeconomic analysis of economic development. We especially encourage applicants whose work falls into intersections between development economics and other fields of relevance to microeconomic policy, as well as candidates who can bridge the gap between theory and practice, bring global perspectives to their teaching and research, and convey the importance of economics in challenging and dynamic contexts. All candidates will be evaluated based on their potential for meaningful scholarship, resulting in publications in top academic journals.
The new faculty member will teach three courses per year in the steady state, including Development Microeconomics.
The Fletcher School is one of the leading independent schools of international affairs, acclaimed both nationally and internationally. The School includes an interdisciplinary full-time faculty of almost 50 and offers 10 Master’s programs (including three business degrees and a joint degree with the Department of Computer Science) and two Ph.D. programs, one of which is joint with the Tufts Economics Department (the program in Economics and Public Policy). We welcome candidates who can advise graduate students in these various programs. We seek faculty who are aligned with our values of teaching and scholarly excellence, collaboration, diversity, and inclusiveness and those who embrace our mission to educate leaders who create great economic and social value everywhere. We seek candidates who are eager to engage as educators among a diverse student community. More information on the Fletcher School can be found at https://fletcher.tufts.edu.
