Teaching Positions for 2012-13

(Posted January 23, 2012)

As of March 1, 2012, all positions have been filled.

The Department of Economics expects to hire a small number of Term Adjuncts for the 2012-13 academic year. Because of University-imposed deadlines, it is necessary to advertise these positions before detailed needs are known. There may be Term Adjunct positions for on-campus courses in the Fall term of 2012 and the Winter term of 2013 in a number of areas. Precisely which areas will depend on availability of full-time faculty members, availability of qualified candidates, and budgetary constraints.

Fall term appointments will be for the period September 1, 2012 to December 31, 2012, with classes in session from September 10, 2012 to November 30, 2012, followed by an examination period.

Winter term appointments will be for the period January 1, 2013 to April 30, 2013, with classes in session from January 7, 2013 to April 5, 2013, followed by an examination period. Available courses may include:

intermediate microeconomics (ECON 212)

macroeconomic policy (ECON 223)
development economics (ECON 239)
statistics (ECON 250)

Enrollments in 200 level courses are generally in the range of 60 to 140, in 300 level courses in the range of 40 to 90, and in 400 level courses in the range of 25 to 65. Fourth-year seminar courses are normally capped at 15.

Candidates for any of these positions should have a doctorate in Economics and teaching experience at the University level, or equivalent experience, in the appropriate fields.

The University invites applications from all qualified individuals. Queen's University is committed to employment equity and diversity in the workplace and welcomes applications from women, visible minorities, aboriginal people, persons with disabilities, and persons of any sexual orientation or gender identity. All qualified candidates are encouraged to apply; however, Canadians and permanent residents will be given priority.

Academic professionals at Queen's University are governed by the Collective Agreement between the Queen's University Faculty Association (QUFA) and the University, which is posted at http://www.queensu.ca/provost/faculty/facultyrelations/qufa/collectiveagreement.html (here). A candidate qualified to teach may be considered for appointment to a Term Adjunct position as defined by the Collective Agreement for All Faculty, Librarians, and Archivists between QUFA and Queen's University. Remuneration will be in accordance with the Collective Agreement, and appointments are subject to funding or enrollment criteria. If a graduate student is teaching a course in a different discipline than they are registered, then they would be eligible for appointment as a Term Adjuct.

Applications should include a complete and current curriculum vitae, letters of reference from two (2) referees, and any other relevant materials the candidate wishes to submit for consideration (e.g. letter of intent, teaching dossier, etc). Please arrange to have applications and supporting letters sent directly to:
