About the role

Cornell University’s Jeb E. Brooks School of Public Policy and the Department of Economics invite applications for a tenure-track Assistant Professor of Economics and Public Policy. The position spans economics and public policy with research foci in data science or environmental policy, and appointments in both departments. Candidates must have a Ph. D. by July 2027 and show potential for outstanding research and teaching at undergrad and grad levels. Review begins Nov 9, 2026.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
