heterodox job ad

[Forstater, Mathew]

We have been given approval to fill the following position. There is
some disagreement about whether this is the 'final' job ad or not, but
in any case, the final will look pretty close to something like this.
The only differences would be on the question of whether someone with a
Ph.D. in a field other than economics might be considered, and whether
we could consider someone for an appointment above the Assistant level.
So, if you have a Ph.D. in Urban Planning or would need to be appointed
an Associate, and everything else fits, I would say go ahead an apply if
you're interested.  We have missed the deadline to get into the JOE, so
please forward this to anyone who you think might be interested.  I
believe we will interview candidates at the ASSA meetings, so let us
know if you will be there and try to get the application in before or by
Dec 15.  E-mail me if you have any questions (I would encourage anyone
from these lists to contact me if you plan to apply so I can give you
some more information that will assist you in your application and cover
letter).  Mat Forstater
