Wofford College, established in 1854, is a four-year, residential liberal arts college located in Spartanburg, South Carolina. It offers 27 major fields of study to a student body of 1,874 undergraduates. Nationally known for the strength of its academic program, outstanding faculty, experiential learning opportunities and successful and supportive graduates, Wofford is recognized consistently as a “best value” and for its commitment to student success and accessibility for low- and middle-income students. The college community has 12 sororities and fraternities as well as 20 NCAA Division I athletics teams.
Wofford College invites applications for a full-time, tenure-track assistant professor of economics to start fall of 2025. At Wofford, faculty serve as teacher-scholars dedicated to the education and mentorship of undergraduates in a liberal arts tradition. The expected salary range for this position is $90,600-$93,350.
The standard teaching load at Wofford College is three courses per semester, typically with no more than 24 students per course, and an additional course during the college’s January Interim term. The college also has a full sabbatical program, and new faculty are relieved of teaching during the Interim term during their first year. All faculty are expected to serve the department and college through student advising and engagement and via committee work. To earn tenure, faculty are expected to demonstrate excellence in teaching, continued scholarly development and service to the college.
A Ph.D. in economics is required by the time of appointment. Candidates who already hold a Ph.D. and those who are ABD will receive equal consideration. To receive consideration for the position, applicants must also have at least some prior teaching experience as a solo instructor (not solely as a teaching assistant). The ideal candidate will be an excellent teacher, have strong communication skills, and have the clear potential, or a demonstrated ability, to make scholarly contributions to the discipline through an active and ongoing research program. Additionally, the ideal candidate will have broad based interests spanning multiple fields, with teaching or research interests in at least two of the following fields: Micro (Behavioral), Macro and Monetary, Public, Law and Econ, IO, Development, and political economy/public choice. The ideal candidate will also have interest in working at a nationally ranked liberal arts institution that values shared governance and college service.
Application materials should be submitted through JOE. Application materials include a cover letter clearly emphasizing your suitability for the position as described (including your specific interest in working at a liberal arts institution), a CV, research sample, teaching portfolio (teaching philosophy, course evaluations, and syllabi), research statement, and three letters of reference. In addition to these materials, the committee will place positive weight on any signals received through the AEA’s signaling mechanism. All application materials, excluding signals, must be received by November 20th, 2024 to be assured of full consideration.
