Two Tenure-Track Faculty Positions in Macroeconomics

Description

The Department of Economics and Accounting at the College of the Holy Cross invites applications for two full-time tenure-track positions, specializing in macroeconomics, to begin in August 2027. The positions may be at either the Assistant Professor or Associate Professor (without tenure) level. Strong preference will be given to candidates with research and teaching interests in macro development, economic growth, monetary economics, international economics, or financial economics. The successful candidate will be committed to developing effective and engaging teaching practices in both elective courses related to their research and core courses such as Quantitative Macroeconomics. The successful candidate will also complement the curricular and scholarly breadth of the department, is expected to establish and maintain an active program of scholarly research in their discipline or across disciplines, supervise student research, and be engaged members of the department and College communities.

Each of these positions carries a 3-2 teaching load, and Holy Cross offers generous sabbatical and fellowship leaves for tenured faculty. To enable a smooth transition to Holy Cross, new full-time tenure-track faculty receive start-up funding to support their research and professional development and have a one-course reduction in their first year of teaching (i.e., 2-2). Faculty who enter Holy Cross as an assistant professor and who claim less than three years of credit toward their tenure clock also have a research leave prior to tenure review of either a full year at 80% salary or a semester at full salary. This leave is not available to faculty who enter as an untenured associate professor or who enter as an assistant professor and claim three years of credit toward their tenure clock.

Each of these positions offers full benefits. Starting salaries are $123,000 for an assistant professor with no prior tenure-track experience or one year of prior tenure-track experience at another institution; $127,800-$131,400 for an assistant professor with two or more years of prior tenure-track experience; and $134,400-$137,400 for faculty entering Holy Cross as untenured associate professors. Salary within the applicable range will be based on qualifications and experience.

In alignment with the strategic plans for Holy Cross and the division of Academic Affairs, we view academic excellence and inclusive excellence as inextricably linked. Our faculty combine high-impact scholarship and outstanding teaching with a deep commitment to inclusive excellence. They generate new knowledge in their fields while utilizing evidence-based teaching strategies and course designs to create classroom environments where all students have a sense of belonging, are valued, and can flourish to reach their full potential. Academic freedom is a cornerstone of our intellectual and moral community; the College is committed to supporting faculty and students as they work to advance our educational mission and serve the common good.

Qualifications

Candidates must demonstrate excellence in scholarship and undergraduate teaching as well as a commitment to inclusive pedagogies. A Ph.D. is required by the beginning of the appointment.
