This is a full-time, 9-month position with a primary commitment to undergraduate teaching excellence, along with an expectation of scholarly activity and service appropriate to EOU's mission as a regional, teaching-centered public university. The Economics program at EOU takes a pluralistic approach to economic inquiry, grounding students in core mainstream frameworks while fostering the capacity to analyze complex social and economic questions from a range of multidisciplinary perspectives. The successful candidate will be an engaged teacher-scholar who brings intellectual rigor and genuine enthusiasm for working with undergraduate students in a small-college environment. Special consideration will be given to candidates with interest, experience, and expertise in regional economic issues, including environmental or natural resource economics, economic impact analysis, and economic value analysis from both neoclassical and Institutionalist perspectives-with attention to the social and historical factors that extend beyond conventional economic impact frameworks. The Eastern Oregon Center for Economic Information, a research unit of the College of Business and the Economics department, conducts applied projects with direct regional relevance, including socioeconomic analyses for forest revision projects undertaken in partnership with county leadership, nonprofit agencies, and the U.S. Forest Service. The position offers meaningful opportunities for applied and community-engaged research. About the College of Business The College of Business currently offers baccalaureate degrees in Business Administration, Marketing, Agricultural Entrepreneurship, Accounting, Fire Services Administration, Emergency Medical Services Administration and Economics, along with minors in Business, Marketing, Accounting, Economics, and Certificates in Business Analytics (Undergrad). Graduate programming includes an MBA with concentrations in Accounting and Health Administration. The College is committed to academic excellence and a learner-centered environment characterized by quality teaching and mentorship, outcomes assessment, student engagement, experiential learning, and career-ready programming. Preparing graduates that are entering a world of business increasingly defined by Artificial Intelligence and analytics, we also prepare students to become ethical leaders who think critically, solve problems, and communicate effectively in a changing global environment. We also seek to advance regional economic and workforce development through responsive programming, consulting, and small business services. Eastern Oregon University serves as an educational, cultural, and scholarly center for rural eastern Oregon, connecting the region to a wider world. Ranked among the top public university values in the nation, EOU's setting and small size enhance the personal attention students receive, while innovative partnerships expand educational possibilities.
