Congratulations, Rene!

Clinical Assistant Professor in the Robert C. Vackar College of Business and Entrepreneurship/Economics We seek applicants for one non-tenure-track position in Economics at the rank of Clinical Assistant Professor. The position is for three years with the possibility of renewal. Candidates must have a Ph.D. in Economics or a closely related field by the beginning of Fall 2026. We seek excellent teachers committed to the success and social mobility of our students. Experience of teaching Economics in higher education in a culturally diverse setting is strongly preferred. We are a Hispanic-serving institution located in South Texas near the US-Mexico border. Even though this is primarily an instructional position, 10% of its workload consists of Research. Hence, modest publication shall be encouraged and expected.

Hey #econsky! I'm organizing a workshop at Brown this Spring in partnership with Eric Nielsen and Viviana Rodriguez.

The topic is educational measurement. Please submit a paper/extended abstract! We'd love to consider your work.

And please help us spread the word to folks who aren't on bluesky!

Help us welcome Dr. Monique E. Davis (@moniqueedavis-phd.bsky.social) as our newest economist! Dr. Davis holds a Ph.D. from the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis–St. Paul. Her work centers on examining structural inequalities between marginalized and privileged groups.

Here's my thread of this year's new scholars in Economics of Education and Education Policy.

These PhD students and postdocs are on the job market, so take a look (and spread the word to others who might benefit from exposure).

And now onto the scholars... 👇

Larry Summers’ sexism is jeopardizing his power and privilege, but the entire economics profession hinders progress for women In 2024, only about 1 in 3 newly minted economics Ph.D.s were women.

Excellent op-ed from @yanarodgers.bsky.social placing the Summers scandal---and the lifetime ban announced today by the AEA---in context.

Ohhh, I like that. I have been struggling with written assignments because I don’t want to necessarily ban AI but also want them to engage with the material so this is helpful for me! Thanks!

Do you make the in-class writing on paper, I guess? I was thinking to do something like this next semester but I am not sure.
