About the Job

Job Duties

The Department of Economics in the College of Liberal Arts at the University of Minnesota occasionally needs term (non-tenure-track) faculty to fill in for regular faculty who may be on leave. Term faculty include visiting, contract, adjunct, or temporary appointments. Positions will be appointed for the 2025/26 academic year.

Term faculty will be expected to teach introductory and/or upper division undergraduate courses and/or graduate level courses, hold office hours and advise students, engage in an active program of scholarly research, and perform service and outreach appropriate to the rank of the appointment.
