Georgetown University invites applications for a full-time faculty position in Global Health Economics at the rank of Assistant or Associate Professor on the educator track, beginning Fall 2027. We seek a dynamic economist who is engaged with the frontier research on the economics of health around the world and who is an energetic, innovative educator. The successful candidate will anchor and expand Georgetown's teaching in health economics and global health at the undergraduate and graduate levels.
Successful candidates will have an active research/policy agenda. Specific focus and sub-field are open. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to, public finance and macroeconomics of health; financing of health systems; health, growth, and economic shocks, including epidemics and climate change; health insurance and health care markets; and other areas of the cross-country and global economics of health. We are particularly interested in candidates whose work addresses the complexity and diversity of low- and middle-income countries, and who in their teaching can connect that work to high-income settings, including the US.
This is a full-time, renewable appointment based in the department of Global Health in the School of Health at the Georgetown University Medical Center. Rooted in Washington, DC, the position offers a strong interdisciplinary community and proximity to the global policy ecosystem.
Candidates must hold a PhD in economics or a closely related field by the start of the appointment. We seek research-active candidates with demonstrated excellence in teaching at the undergraduate and/or graduate level, and the ability to teach economics effectively to students from a range of disciplinary backgrounds.
Applicants should submit a cover letter, CV, a representative publication, teaching statement (including courses the candidate is prepared to teach and ideas for new courses), evidence of teaching effectiveness such as course evaluations or sample syllabi if available, and the names of three references. All materials must be submitted through Interfolio. Applications received by December 1, 2026 will receive full consideration. First-round interviews will be conducted virtually in December 2026 and January 2027.
The projected salary pay range for this position is $120,000 – $140,000, which represents the full range of anticipated compensation for this position. Compensation is determined by a number of factors including, but not limited to, the candidate’s individual qualifications, experience, education, skills, and certifications, as well as the University’s business needs and external factors."
