Hi to all, I sent out this announcement back in February. I just found out that we will also be hiring for a visiting assistant professor position as well. The application pool is still open, so anyone who was not interested in the lecturer position, but might be interested in the VAP, you should get you application packet in a soon as possible [this weekend would be good]. It is very important to have your list of three references as well as your letter and vita.
The VAP will be a one year replacement for someone on leave. there is a very good chance he may stay on leave for two years. If so, it is likely he won't come back and the VAP would be almost assured of being converted to a tenure track position. The VAP will pay somewhere around $35,000.
If you decide to apply, send you application packet to Tom Trulove [address in ad below] but also let me know you have applied.

PS. Dawn, I have misplaced your email. I put it someplace "safe" and can't find it. Please send it again.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Economics department at Eastern Washington University will be hiring for a full-time lecturer position to start in the Fall 2005. This is not a tenure track position. HOWEVER, the last four tenure track hires started out as lecturers in the department. In fact, it seems to be the only way to get onto the tenure track.
The lecturer will teach three courses per quarter. The pay is pretty low, approximately $30,000, but the cost of living in Spokane is also low. You can buy a pretty nice house on this income.
Before you delete the rest of this message, you should know that the current department includes three heterodox economists, (four if you count someone who thinks of himself as a Post-Keynesian), and two of our traditionally neo-classical people are becoming so disillusioned that they are moving toward the heterodox more each day. So this would be an intellectually comfortable place for a heterodox person.
If you decide that you are interested in this position, you should send your materials to the Chair of the Department, listed in the JOE ad below. You should also let me know that you are applying. Since this is not a tenure track position we are being somewhat less structured in our search procedures. My email address is: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>[EMAIL PROTECTED]
