Assistant Professor Political Economy
Position overview Position title: Assistant Professor Anticipated start: July 1, 2023 Application Window
Open August 18th, 2022 through Tuesday, Oct 4, 2022 at 11:59pm (Pacific Time)
Position description
The Political Economy Program at the University of California, Berkeley seeks a tenure-track assistant professor for a position 50% in Political Economy and 50% in a related discipline such as Economics, History, Sociology, Anthropology, Political Science, or Business.
Berkeley Political Economy has been a leading program in interdisciplinary political economy for undergraduates for more than 40 years and has recently launched a graduate program, the Designated Emphasis in Political Economy. This search represents an important step in an ambitious plan to expand and strengthen political economy at Berkeley: adding faculty, developing courses, building the graduate program, and expanding the Network for a New Political Economy (a campus network of faculty and students interested in political economy) into a leading research center.
We seek scholars from a related discipline who would be enthusiastic about joining such an enterprise and participating in the reconceptualization of this program. We encourage applications from scholars whose long-term research agenda seeks to bridge multiple fields. We would especially be interested in scholars who could offer required courses in Economics (such as introduction to economics or intermediate macroeconomics or microeconomics) and/or History (such as a global history survey or more focused historical context courses), or upper division courses in priority areas for curriculum expansion such as finance, public health, climate change, the digital economy, race, ethnicity, and/or immigration and migration.
We encourage applications from current or recent PhD candidates and graduates; current and recent postdocs; current assistant professors (including those who are "senior" assistant professors near tenure).
The Political Economy program recognizes the intrinsic relationship between diversity and excellence in all our endeavors. We embrace open and equitable access to opportunities for learning and development as our obligation and goal. We seek candidates who demonstrate a commitment to advancing diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging through their research, teaching, and/or service. UC Berkeley is committed to upholding the university's principles of community so that every individual can be successful in a healthy, welcoming, and safe environment. Additional information about programs and resources supporting the advancement of diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging is available at:
https://ls.berkeley.edu/about/diversity-equity-and-inclusion https://ls.berkeley.edu/ls-divisions/social-sciences/diversity-equity-and-inclusion
Considering the significant disruptions caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, particularly for disadvantaged groups, in our evaluation of applicants, dips in productivity in otherwise strong records occurring with the onset of the pandemic will be evaluated with the context of the pandemic in mind.
The department is committed to addressing the family needs of faculty, including dual career couples and single parents, as well as candidates who have had non-traditional career paths or who have taken time off for family reasons. For information about potential relocation to Berkeley, or career needs of accompanying partners and spouses, please visit: http://ofew.berkeley.edu/new-faculty .
