We are looking for candidates with a Ph.D. in Economics at the time of hire, with a clear commitment to teaching undergraduate students and a clear understanding of the liberal arts and sciences context in which students learn at Franklin. Franklin’s multinational faculty, staff, and student body collaborate to create a unique learning environment in which global approaches to the liberal arts and sciences are integrated into every program of study. As such, the successful candidate will approach Economics education in an interdisciplinary way, connecting Economics with the liberal arts and sciences as well as with other disciplines in business and management. Franklin students should graduate not only with a rigorous grounding in their primary area of study, but also with the abilities to connect those skills to the broader world, to communicate across cultural contexts, and to adapt and thrive in dynamic and changing global environments. To support these goals, the successful candidate will have experience with innovative pedagogical methods, including experiential project-based learning, and will be ready to forge connections between Franklin classrooms and Franklin’s wider community in Switzerland and beyond.
A typical teaching load is six courses per year (18 credit hours / 36-38 ECTS annually), including a course with an integrated Academic Travel component, which is a fundamental part of Franklin’s international, interdisciplinary, and intercultural curriculum. Core courses include macro- and microeconomics, international economics, managerial economics, banking and finance, decision sciences, and political economy. Topics of current interest for future course development include digitalization and artificial intelligence in business. Economics courses at Franklin serve not only students majoring in Economics, but also students from a range of other majors such as Political Science, International Relations, Finance, and Social Justice and Sustainability. Given this, we seek candidates who can equip students for critical explorations of competing perspectives in a pluralist context.
Franklin faculty maintain active research agendas within their disciplines and in interdisciplinary collaboration with colleagues in other disciplines. We seek candidates whose research agendas and teaching practices mutually inform and energize one another. Beyond research and classroom teaching, additional expectations include academic advising, student mentorship, and serving on department committees.
Ideally, candidates will be conversant in one of the official languages of Switzerland and have an established track record of interdisciplinary teaching.
To apply, please submit a cover letter, a curriculum vitae, a research statement, and teaching evaluations, along with three references to econsearch@fus.edu . Review of applications will begin on 26 February 2024 and continue until the position is filled.
