The Department of Geography (geo.msu.edu) at Michigan State University invites applications for a full-time, academic-year (nine-month) tenure-system Assistant or Associate Professor to begin in Fall of 2015.  We seek an outstanding Economic Geographer whose primary research and teaching interests are in applied and theoretical aspects of the field (for example but not limited to, market analysis, transportation, entrepreneurship, or economic development).  A Ph.D. in Geography or related field is required. Corporate or governmental experience is also desirable. We are currently expanding our program in Economic Geography and especially seek candidates who will play a central role in our new Bachelor of Science degree in that subfield.  We also welcome applicants who can teach related spatial modeling and quantitative methods. Faculty members are expected to be effective teachers, develop a record of significant scholarship, seek external funding for their research, and provide meaningful service. 

All applications should include a curriculum vitae, statement of interest, and the names of three references.  Questions may be directed to Professor Bruce Pigozzi, Chair of the Search Committee (This email address is being protected from spambots.
