| The Department of Economics and Commonwealth Honors College of the University of Massachusetts Amherst invites applications for a joint faculty appointment expected to start on September 1, 2026, at the level of Assistant Professor. We encourage applications from candidates in microeconomics (either theory or applied) and/or heterodox political economy (Marxian, Neo-Ricardian, institutionalist, feminist, or stratification economics). Applicants should have research that addresses current social and economic challenges. In particular, we encourage applications from scholars engaged in research on the economics of artificial intelligence and its impact on areas such as inequality, discrimination, occupational change, productivity, and growth. The teaching load is 2/2, inclusive of two economics courses with an honors designation. Honors Faculty also are engaged in the Commonwealth Honors College community and meet annually with the CHC Dean, in addition to contributing to the life of their home department, college, and university. Candidates will be judged on their scholarly research, as well as high quality and enthusiastic undergraduate teaching of honors students, especially principles, intermediate, and game theory. Under exceptional circumstances, candidates at other ranks may receive consideration. |
