New York University Arts and Science

Liberal Studies at New York University invites applications for a Clinical Assistant Professor position to begin September 1, 2027, pending administrative and budgetary approval.

The Liberal Studies Core is a dynamic liberal arts curriculum that provides a global and interdisciplinary foundation for nearly 100 NYU majors. The Global Liberal Studies Bachelor of Arts is an innovative global studies major grounded in the spatial, conceptual, and temporal understandings of a highly interconnected world, with a program of study that is distinguished by experiential learning, study away, and independent research focused in an interdisciplinary concentration. In both the LS Core and the GLS major, small, seminar-style classes and close faculty-student interaction provide students with the benefits of a liberal arts college within a large urban research university. We are especially interested in hiring qualified candidates who can contribute their research, teaching, and service to the diversity and excellence of Liberal Studies and NYU.

We seek applicants for the following position:

ECONOMICS

PhD in Economics with a focus on the economics of stratification, inequality, and the political economy of racial capitalism. Candidates should be able to teach introductory microeconomics and macroeconomics in a liberal arts context from both mainstream and heterodox perspectives. We seek colleagues who, as needed, will teach intermediate and advanced courses in the listed fields of specialization in the Economy and Society Concentration (E&S) of Global Liberal Studies. Candidates should emphasize interdisciplinary and global connections in their teaching and research. They must attach theoretical analysis to real-world events in lectures and show a commitment to fostering an inclusive, collegial classroom environment.

Minimum qualifications:

We are especially interested in qualified candidates who share Liberal Studies' commitment to equity, inclusion, and belonging, and who can contribute to the diversity of intellectual life in LS and NYU. Candidates must present demonstrated experience and commitment to interdisciplinarity, intersectionality, and a teaching approach informed by global perspectives. Publications and evidence of outstanding scholarship and relevant professional activity are strongly encouraged.
