About UMass Amherst

UMass Amherst, the Commonwealth's flagship campus, is a nationally ranked public research university offering a full range of undergraduate, graduate and professional degrees. The University sits on nearly 1,450-acres in the scenic Pioneer Valley of Western Massachusetts, and offers a rich cultural environment in a bucolic setting close to major urban centers. In addition, the University is part of the Five Colleges (including Amherst College, Hampshire College, Mount Holyoke College, and Smith College), which adds to the intellectual energy of the region.

Job Description

The Department of Economics invites applications for a full-time Lecturer. Teaching responsibilities will include three (3) undergraduate classes per semester. The Department seeks applicants capable of teaching a broad and flexible course list and, in particular, Behavioral Economics and Money and Banking. This position will start on September 1, 2024, and the initial appointment will be for one year. The potential for reappointment is contingent upon funding availability and satisfactory performance. Annual salary range is commensurate with experience.

Requirements

  • a letter of interest
  • curriculum vitae
  • evidence of teaching effectiveness
  • contact information for three professional references who will be prompted to submit letters of recommendation
  • a diversity statement that discusses the candidate’s skills, experiences, and commitment to teaching and mentoring diverse and historically underrepresented student populations and advancing equity, inclusion, and diversity.

Review of applications will begin on June 1, 2024, and continue until the position is filled.

The University is committed to active recruitment of a diverse faculty and student body. The University of Massachusetts Amherst is an Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity Employer of women, minorities, protected veterans, and individuals with disabilities and encourages applications from these and other protected group members. Because broad diversity is essential to an inclusive climate and critical to the University’s goals of achieving excellence in all areas, we will holistically assess the many qualifications of each applicant and favorably consider an individual’s record working with students and colleagues with broadly diverse perspectives, experiences, and backgrounds in educational, research or other work activities. We will also favorably consider experience overcoming or helping others overcome barriers to an academic career and degree.
