The Department of Economics at the University of Prince Edward Island invites application for a tenure-track position at the rank of Assistant Professor, starting July 1, 2019. All areas of specialization will be considered. This position is subject to final budgetary approval.

The University of Prince Edward Island is recognized as a leading, innovative centre of excellence in learning, teaching, scholarship, and research. While it is strongly connected to the vibrant social and cultural environment of Prince Edward Island, it enjoys a reputation that extends far beyond the Island’s shores.

The University is located in the provincial capital of Charlottetown, a bustling tourist destination that boasts the amenities of a much larger city, including excellent theatre, galleries, music, and dining possibilities. A province-wide hiking and biking trail runs right along the UPEI campus, and the National Park beaches and world-famous golf courses are a short drive away. Charlottetown and its surrounding communities offer charming and affordable housing options, a low crime rate, and a semi-rural lifestyle that is second-to-none.

Start Date: July 1, 2019

Application Instructions:
Candidates should have a PhD in Economics (or near completion). Applicants are requested to submit a signed letter of application, curriculum vitae, a sample of research or published work, a teaching dossier, and to arrange to have sent three signed letters of reference. The cover letter must include a statement of Canadian status (citizen, permanent resident, or other).
