What is a visiting assistant professor in economics?

A Visiting Assistant Professor in Economics is a temporary faculty member, typically hired for a limited term (often one to three years), to teach courses and sometimes conduct research in economics at a college or university. These positions are often filled to cover faculty leaves, address short-term teaching needs, or bring in specialized expertise. Visiting Assistant Professors generally have a Ph.D. or are close to completing one, and while they may participate in departmental activities, their positions do not usually lead to tenure. The role is an excellent opportunity for recent graduates to gain teaching experience and expand their academic network.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a visiting assistant professor in economics?

To thrive as a Visiting Assistant Professor in Economics, you generally need a Ph.D. in economics or a closely related field, along with strong research and teaching abilities. Familiarity with statistical software (such as Stata or R), online learning platforms, and experience in publishing academic research are highly valued. Excellent communication, adaptability, and the ability to engage and mentor students are essential soft skills. These qualifications enable effective instruction, research productivity, and meaningful contributions to the academic community.

What are some common challenges faced by visiting assistant professors in economics, and how can they be addressed?

Visiting Assistant Professors in Economics often juggle multiple responsibilities, such as teaching various courses, undertaking research, and integrating into a new academic community, all within a limited contract period. Challenges can include quickly adapting to departmental expectations, managing a heavy teaching load, and establishing research collaborations in a short time frame. To address these, building strong relationships with faculty and staff, seeking mentorship, and proactively communicating with department leadership about expectations can be highly beneficial. Participating in faculty meetings and campus events also helps in networking and finding potential research partners.

What does it mean to be a visiting assistant professor in economics?

A visiting assistant professor in economics is a temporary faculty member hired for a limited period, often one or two academic years, to teach courses, conduct research, and contribute to the department.

Job Posting Title:

Visiting Assistant Professor of Economics

Job Description:

The Department of Economics at Pomona College invite applications for a one-year Visiting Assistant Professor of Economics. Qualified candidates should have a Ph.D. in Economics, Public Policy, or a related field (or be near completion). The successful candidate will offer five courses a year, which includes multiple sections of one class (so no more than three preps). The candidate's course assignments will be determined together with the Department's chair but will include statistics or our introductory microeconomics course.

Established in 1887, Pomona College is the founding member of the Claremont Colleges, a unique constellation of five liberal arts undergraduate colleges and two graduate institutions located in eastern Los Angeles County in southern California. Pomona College's student body consists of approximately 1,700 students, over 55% of whom identify as a person of color. The College is committed to a need-blind, no-loan admissions policy and values equal access to higher education. Students of the Claremont Colleges can cross-register for courses at any of the colleges, and faculty and staff across the colleges often collaborate. Currently, the Department of Economics consists of 13 tenured or tenured track faculty members, and there are more than 50 economists at the Claremont Colleges.

To apply for this position, please submit (as one PDF 5MB) a CV, cover letter, a statement of teaching experience, a statement regarding experience with mentoring or advising a diverse student body (Writing the Equity and Inclusion Statement), evidence of teaching effectiveness such as course evaluations, and a research statement. Please arrange for three letters of recommendation to be uploaded as well. We will begin considering dossiers immediately and until the position is filled. This position is not eligible for travel and moving expenses. Employment is contingent upon providing proof of the legal right to work in the United States as required by the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 for the duration of the contract, July 1, 2025 until June 30, 2026.

As an equal opportunity workplace, Pomona College is committed to equal opportunity regardless of race, color, ancestry, religion, sex, national origin, sexual orientation, age, citizenship, ability, gender identity or Veteran status. Pomona College is committed to elevating academic rigor through inclusive excellence and welcomes applications from women and members of underrepresented groups in the economics discipline.

The salary range for this position is $78,000-$85,000 and is commensurate with teaching experience and degree status.
