The School of Public and Environmental Affairs (SPEA) at Indiana University seeks to appoint a tenure-track faculty member in the area of Public Finance on the Bloomington campus. Applicants are invited to apply from all areas of public finance. However, preference will be given to candidates with expertise in public sector economics and taxation, financial markets and financial management, and international economics and finance. The appointment is expected to be at the Assistant Professor level, but a more senior appointment at the Associate Professor level is possible for an exceptionally qualified candidate.  Applicants must present evidence of high quality research and an ambitious research program with a public sector orientation, an interest in professional service applications, and a strong commitment to high quality teaching. The individual selected for this position should be able to teach graduate-level managerial economics or public finance and budgeting courses.  The Ph.D. or equivalent terminal degree is required in an appropriate field before the appointment is completed.

SPEA is a multidisciplinary, university-wide division of Indiana University and is organized as a professional school committed to excellence in research, teaching, and service and to addressing critical issues of public policy and management.  All faculty members teach required and elective courses at the undergraduate, professional masters and doctoral levels.  SPEA is one of the largest U.S. public affairs school in the nation with over a total of 70 tenure-track faculty on its core campuses, Bloomington and Indianapolis. The graduate program consistently ranks among the best in the country.
