The Department of Economics at The Pennsylvania State University seeks to fill multiple teaching faculty positions. Candidates must be able to handle a large class environment and effectively teach at both introductory and intermediate levels in macro, micro, and/or econometrics. Assistant/Associate Teaching Professors teach a 3/3 load and work as part of a team of instructors tasked with teaching most of the introductory and intermediate-level courses in the Department. These are non-tenure-track and term appointments.
A teaching record of accomplishment is expected but less seasoned applicants will be considered, especially new Ph.D.s who have taught large classes as part of their graduate careers.
Successful candidates must either have demonstrated a commitment to building an inclusive, equitable, and diverse campus community, or describe one or more ways they would envision doing so, given the opportunity.
Penn State is committed to and accountable for advancing diversity, equity, and inclusion in all its forms. We embrace individual uniqueness, foster a culture of inclusion that supports both broad and specific diversity initiatives, leverage the educational and institutional benefits of diversity, and engage all individuals to help them thrive. We value inclusion as a core strength and an essential element of our public service mission.
Review of applicants will begin on November 1, 2023, and continue until the position is filled. To be considered, you must complete the Penn State application on the Job Posting Board.
These positions will be filled at the rank of Assistant or Associate Teaching Professor. A Ph.D. in Economics or related field is required by the appointment date. Rank and length of term are determined by education and experience.
The College of the Liberal Arts is committed to offering professional growth and promotional opportunities for non-tenure-line faculty appointments. Information on faculty ranks and progression can be found at https://policy.psu.edu/policies/ac21.
