The Department of Economics at UMass Boston invites applications for a tenure track Assistant Professor position in Health Economics and related fields to begin September 1, 2026.
The Economics Department at UMass Boston is a vibrant and diverse group with an established history of methodological and theoretical pluralism with particular focus on issues related to poverty, inequality, gender, and race. This position will further deepen our focus in these areas, as well as support our growing cohorts of undergraduate majors as well as the Department's M.A. in Applied Economics.
Evidence of progress towards an excellent scholarly record is necessary. A successful candidate will be expected to teach undergraduate and/or graduate Health Economics, Econometrics, and have the potential to contribute to other areas of instruction. Evidence of successful teaching with diverse students, including international students, is highly desirable. The appointment requires completion of the doctoral degree in Economics or a closely related discipline no later than August 31, 2026.
The review of applications will begin on November 15, 2026. We anticipate preliminary interviews to be conducted remotely immediately preceding the ASSA meeting.
All applications must be submitted online at https://employmentopportunities.umb.edu/boston/en-us/listing/. Please submit a letter of application, curriculum vitae, a sample of completed work, evidence of teaching effectiveness, and the names and email addresses of three references. Please include in your letter of application an explanation of how your work would complement the pluralistic nature of the Department.
Please direct any inquiries to the department chair, Michael Carr, at michael.carr@umb.edu
UMass Boston is an urban public research university with a teaching soul, whose impact is both local and global. We are the third most diverse university in the country - more than 60% of our undergraduate students come from minoritized communities and groups and more than half of our students are the first in their families to attend a college or university. Thus, our students come to us from richly diverse life experiences and backgrounds; they bring to our classrooms and research settings the robust range of perspectives growing out of the socio-cultural, economic, and historical contexts in which they have lived, along with the challenges they encounter, engage, and strive to overcome. We invite applications from candidates who engage the diverse life experiences of our student body, who appreciate that students bring their holistic selves into the academic setting, and who recognize and articulate how their own life experiences and backgrounds have shaped their journeys, practices, and commitments as researchers, scholars, and educators.
UMass Boston is committed to the full inclusion of all qualified individuals. As part of this commitment, we will ensure that persons with disabilities are provided reasonable accommodations for the hiring process. If reasonable accommodation is needed, please contact HRDirect@umb.edu or 617-287-5150.
