The posting

Calvin University invites applications for two full-time, regular faculty positions in economics in the Department of Politics and Economics, beginning in August 2027, pending administrative approval. Both appointments will be made at the rank of Assistant Professor.

The department seeks economists whose areas of specialization complement one another and strengthen the breadth of the department’s teaching and research.

REQUIREMENTS

The university seeks applicants with vibrant Christian faith who are dedicated to integration of that faith with their field of study.

Qualified candidates will hold a Ph.D. in economics or a closely related field from an accredited university. The department welcomes applications from candidates in all fields of economics. Given that two positions are being filled, particular consideration will be given to how candidates’ areas of specialization complement the expertise of other candidates and the existing strengths and needs of the department.

Candidates are expected to demonstrate excellence in undergraduate teaching and maintain an active program of relevant research and publication. Preference will be given to candidates with experience using a variety of teaching methods and instructional technologies.

The university will prioritize candidates who demonstrate broad interdisciplinary interests; a commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion; an ability to integrate questions of meaning, significance, and ethics throughout the curriculum; and a deep commitment to engaging students beyond the classroom.

FACULTY RESPONSIBILITIES

Faculty members typically teach 24 semester hours per academic year, with teaching assignments typically involving two course preparations per semester and courses varying in credit hours and length. Faculty are expected to teach effectively, maintain an active scholarly agenda, and serve the university, department, students, and wider community.

Candidates will be asked to affirm their commitment to the educational mission of Calvin University as a Christian liberal arts university in the Reformed tradition. (See Educating for Shalom and Faculty Expectations) Calvin University provides numerous faculty development opportunities, both before and after tenure, to foster continued growth in these commitments.

FACULTY RESOURCES

Calvin University hosts a number of Centers and Institutes and provides other funding opportunities to support faculty teaching and research. These resources include sabbaticals, grants, course releases, summer research stipends, travel funds, and student research opportunities.

ABOUT THE DEPARTMENT OF POLITICS AND ECONOMICS

The Department of Politics and Economics offers Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) and Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degrees in Economics, as well as Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) degrees in Political Science and International Relations. The department also contributes to the interdisciplinary Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) program in Politics, Philosophy, and Economics (PPE).

The mission of the department is to equip students and members of the broader community to build and participate in institutions that contribute to justice, equity, and universal flourishing. Our curricula provide students with a balanced and comprehensive understanding of politics, policy, and political and economic inquiry. Students develop disciplinary knowledge and skills in professional writing and communication while learning to serve civic purposes as members of local, national, and global communities.

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
