Assistant, Associate, or Full Professor Rank, Applied Microeconomics

The Brown University Department of Economics and the Watson School of International and Public Affairs invite applications for a faculty position at the rank of Assistant, Associate, or Full Professor in applied microeconomics (excluding development), with a particular focus on research that innovates methodologically while still speaking directly to policy-relevant issues in the world. The search is open to scholars applying for Associate and Full Professor positions, as well as scholars applying for an Assistant Professor position who have at least four years of experience since receiving their PhD. We seek candidates whose research makes creative and influential contributions to the scholarly literature in the field in a manner appropriate to their career stage. The successful candidate must also demonstrate the ability to engage with students, practitioners and an interdisciplinary range of scholars around the implications of their research for international and public affairs. Income and wealth inequality are topics of particular interest to this search, though they are not required and candidates without related work will not be at a disadvantage.

The position is expected to begin July 1, 2027. All candidates should submit: a cover letter describing research completed and planned, as well as how the candidate’s work would contribute to the research and teaching missions of our diverse and inclusive university community, a curriculum vitae, and, only for candidates applying for an Assistant Professor position, at least 3 recommenders via https://econjobmarket.org/positions/12562. To receive full consideration applications must be received by September 7, 2026. Applications will be accepted until the position is either filled or the search is closed.
