Assistant Professor level (Assistant Professor if the candidate has a Ph.D./JD in hand; Instructor otherwise). The Economics & Health Care Management department is seeking a pool of candidates to fill one position.

Spring semester appointment begins January 02, 2025 for classes that begin January 15, 2025.

The candidate hired to teach this course will have responsibilities for managing all aspects of teaching the course, including course development, course delivery, grading, and communicating with students.
