The Bates College Economics Department invites applications for a tenure track position in applied microeconomics at the assistant professor level to begin July 1, 2026. We are especially interested in candidates using empirical causal inference methods. Candidates who can enhance the diversity of the faculty and/or who have demonstrated success working with and supporting an increasingly diverse student body are encouraged to apply.

The successful candidates will combine teaching and research in their field(s) of specialization with the expectation to regularly teach one or more core courses in our major: Principles of Economics, Intermediate Microeconomics, Statistics, and Econometrics. Additionally, candidates should demonstrate preparedness to mentor undergraduate research. The annual teaching load is 5 courses, and the new hire is eligible for a one-course release in year one and a one-semester pre-tenure leave conditional on successful reappointment.

Review of applications will begin on November 1, 2025 and will continue until the position is filled. To be seriously considered, candidates should substantively discuss in their application materials how they design their courses, develop an inclusive climate in the classroom, and in other ways support a broad range of social, cultural, and learning differences to ensure that all students thrive.

Please submit the following materials: cover letter, curriculum vitae, graduate transcripts, a research paper, statements on diversity, teaching, and research, teaching evaluations, and three confidential letters of recommendation. Also, please describe your willingness and preparedness for teaching core courses. All Ph.D. degree requirements must be completed by the date of appointment. Employment is contingent upon successful completion of a background check and verification of degree. For more information about the college, please visit the Bates website: www.bates.edu.
