Job Description Summary
The Department of Economics at Furman University invites
applications for two open rank tenure-track positions to begin
August 1, 2018. We encourage applications from candidates in any
field of economics who demonstrate a commitment to excellence in
teaching, student advising, and research in a liberal arts
environment. For one of the two positions, we would value a health
economist who would be excited to work with students and community
partners in collaboration with the Institute for the Advancement of
Community Health, a partnership between Furman University and the
Greenville Health System. In addition to teaching courses in their
areas of expertise, all department members contribute to the
teaching of some core courses in economics (principles, statistics,
econometrics, intermediate theory, and/or senior seminar). We are
interested in hiring faculty members with diverse perspectives who
will foster innovation in our curriculum and provide a rich and
varied educational experience for our students. The teaching
responsibility is five courses per academic year.
Furman University is a selective private liberal arts and sciences
college committed to helping students develop intellectually,
personally, and interpersonally and providing the practical skills
necessary to succeed in a rapidly-changing world. Furman professors
are exceptional teacher-scholars who mentor undergraduate students
within a campus community that values and encourages diverse ideas
and perspectives. Our recently-launched strategic vision, The
Furman Advantage, promises students an individualized four-year
pathway facilitated by team of mentors and infused with a rich and
varied set of high impact experiences outside the classroom that
include undergraduate research, study away, internships,
community-focused learning, and opportunities to engage across
differences.
Furman is an Equal Opportunity Employer committed to increasing the
diversity of its faculty and staff. The University aspires to
create a community of people representing a multiplicity of
identities including gender, race, religion, spiritual belief,
sexual orientation, geographic origin, socioeconomic background,
ideology, world view, and varied abilities. Domestic partners of
employees are eligible for comprehensive benefits.
The Furman student experience is supported by a rich network of
centers and institutes that includes The Riley Institute, The David
E. Shi Center for Sustainability, The Institute for the Advancement
of Community Health, The Rinker Center for Study Away and
International Education, The Cothran Center for Vocational
Exploration, The Shucker Center for Leadership Development, The
Malone Center for Career Engagement, and our newest addition, The
Center for Inclusive Communities.
Furman is located in Greenville, South Carolina, which is one of
the fastest growing cities in the Southeast and is ranked among
â??America's Ten Bestâ? by Forbes Magazine. The charming downtown
features excellent restaurants, in-town parks, shops, museums,
galleries, music venues, and theaters. The city also has excellent
public and private schools and a vibrant international community. A
20-mile bike and running trail connects the university to
Greenville and to Travelers Rest, which was named â??one of
America's coolest small towns.â? The surrounding area abounds with
outdoor recreational activities and has some of the most beautiful
lakes, rivers, and mountains in the country. Greenville is within
easy reach of the Blue Ridge Mountains and Atlantic Beaches. The
newly renovated Greenville-Spartanburg Airport, located just 25
minutes from downtown, runs daily flights to major cities and
airline hubs. Greenville is 2 1/2 hours from Atlanta and only one
