Job description

Description
The Department of Economics and Business at St. Mary's College of Maryland is accepting applications for a tenure-track Assistant Professor of Economics with a specialization in Empirical Economics to support the College's Data Science minor, beginning August 2027. This position will regularly teach both Economics and Data Science courses and is open to any subfield within Economics, with priority given to candidates with empirical, policy-oriented research and experience. Faculty members teach three courses per semester, advise program majors, supervise senior projects, and fulfill departmental and college-level service responsibilities. All professors at St. Mary's are expected to contribute to the college-wide core curriculum as well as to their departmental curriculum. Faculty are expected to teach in-person classes supported on methodologies that promote students' engagement. The annual salary range for this position is $85,000 to $100,000, commensurate with the candidate's qualifications and experience.
Non-sectarian since its founding, St. Mary's College of Maryland, a public Carnegie Baccalaureate, Arts and Sciences institution located in St. Mary's City, 70 miles southeast of Washington, D.C., has been designated as Maryland's public honors college. With selective admissions policies, academically talented students, and a rigorous curriculum, we offer a small college experience similar to that found at exceptional private colleges. St. Mary's faculty benefit from a comprehensive program of support for scholarship, research, travel, and curriculum development, including course releases for pre-tenure faculty and leaves for tenured faculty. The quality of life is enhanced by the recreational opportunities of the Chesapeake region and by our proximity to Washington, D.C. and Baltimore.
Qualifications
  • Ph.D. in Economics (may be ABD at time of application if degree completion by August 2027 is certain), with a record of high-quality teaching and research.
  • Must have college-level teaching experience, and a record of-or demonstrating promise of-high quality intellectual contributions.
  • Candidates must be able to design and deliver courses in Economics and Data Science, and must be proficient in the programming languages R and Python.
  • Preference will be given to candidates with teaching, research, or applied experience in empirical, policy-oriented economics, including data scraping, data visualization, or machine learning.
  • An interest in attracting and retaining students from underrepresented groups is desirable.
  • The successful candidate must produce the necessary documentation to legally work in the U.S. upon hire.

Employment will be contingent upon successful completion of a criminal background check.
Application Instructions
St. Mary's College (www.smcm.edu) embodies diversity and inclusion in its mission. We create an environment that recognizes the value of individual and group differences and we encourage inquiries from applicants who will contribute to our cultural and ethnic diversity. Application materials should include a cover letter (within the cover letter, applicants are requested to speak to ways in which their teaching will contribute to a culture of inclusion and campus diversity), curriculum vitae (include e-mail address), statement of teaching philosophy, statement of research interests, and evidence of teaching effectiveness (if available). In support of inclusive hiring practices, the College will also request three professional references (rather than letters of recommendation) at the time of application. Of these three references, at least one referee should speak to the candidate's disciplinary expertise and at least one should have seen the candidate deliver or design classroom instruction. References will be contacted only for candidates who advance to finalist interviews. Applications are being accepted online at https://apply.interfolio.com/190332. Questions may be directed to Silvio Borrero at sborrero@smcm.edu.
Review of applications will begin on November 1, 2026 and continue until the positions are filled. Employment will be contingent upon successful completion of a criminal background check.
