At Ave Maria University, we have an open economics faculty position. Indeed, it’s late in the job market and we haven’t settled a match. That’s what accounts for my late post. I interviewed someone today when I otherwise would have been grading. So, I spent my evening writing feedback on papers (pleading for greater concision).
We are a small department at a Catholic liberal arts school. When staffed, we employ 3 full time Econ faculty plus 1 or 2 adjuncts. We’re primarily a teaching university, teaching 3-class loads each semester. The students are great people. They have better moral fiber than I did at their age and the Econ majors tend to be smarter and more capable than I was at their age.
The university is located in Ave Maria, Florida which is a small town near Naples, the very wealthy destination of snowbirds and retirees. Most faculty live near the university, send their kids to the nearby private school, and attend the same masses. There is a lot of community here.
We’re happy to take economists of almost any specialization. A focus on micro or stats or data analysis would be a plus. The link to apply is below. I’d be thrilled to learn that this is how we met.
Why thank you for the compliments! – A former student.
In all seriousness though AMU is a wonderful place, so if you are interested in teaching there please apply! We generally made sure to thank our teachers after every class too.
