Our department has a longstanding tradition of methodological and intellectual pluralism. Our undergraduate and graduate programs offer courses that cover an unusually wide range of economic thought, including neoclassical economics, Keynesian economics, institutional economics, Marxian economics and feminist economics. We want our students to become critical thinkers who understand the debates about economic methodology and policy as well as the techniques of economic analysis. Our faculty members have active research agendas and substantial scholarly records; nonetheless, our students are our first priority. We constantly strive to improve our teaching programs, and our faculty have won many teaching and advising awards. Our PhD program provides many opportunities for students to interact with faculty and to work with them on research projects. We have had an excellent track record in job placements for our graduate students. Finally, the department has developed a strong reputation in engaged scholarship, where research and grant funding have gone to understanding the impacts of natural disasters and economic development opportunities for Colorado communities. |

| Position Summary | The Department of Economics is seeking an Associate Professor in Urban, Rural, and Regional Economics (JEL R00) to support the mission of the university’s Regional Economic Development Institute (REDI@CSU), a collaboration which includes the Department of Economics in the College of Liberal Arts, as well as help fulfill the goals of the Office of Engagement and Extension’s (OEE) Rural Initiative. The successful candidate should have a sufficiently outstanding record of teaching/mentoring, scholarship, and engagement/outreach to warrant being awarded tenure and Associate Professor status from the outset of the appointment, and will be expected to contribute to graduate teaching in regional economics. Candidates must have experience in communicating with diverse communities. Candidates are also encouraged to highlight associated expertise in state and local public finance, regional labor market or health analysis, and/or spatial econometrics.

The position thus involves an enlarged engagement/outreach agenda supporting REDI@CSU’s efforts to improve community and economic development prospects for all of Colorado, with a particular focus on rural communities. In addition, the position’s responsibilities would comprise 1 course per year for the first two years then 2 courses per year in the third year onward, as well as undergraduate and graduate student mentoring.
