----------------- HES POSTING ----------------- 
 
The purpose of this mail is to draw attention to a job opportunity in  
the History of Economic Thought (HET) at junior level in Bristol (UK).  
The Bristol economics department is advertising a temporary lectureship 
in economics (= assistant professor, non tenure-track) suitable for  
someone who has recently completed or is about to complete a PhD. I  
give a few more details below. If you know someone who might be  
interested please draw it to their attention. 
 
We are currently advertising one job in any field in economics. By the  
time we reach the interview stage we hope to be able to offer more than 
one post. We have teaching needs in various fields of which HET is one, 
so the current advertisment does not specify that field in particular.  
An appointee in HET would spend a bit less than half the time teaching  
in the field, and would need to be able to teach other fields (such as  
introdutory or intermediate economics or other field in economis or  
econometrics) as well. The job is for just one year initially, but with  
the possibility of extension up to three years in total. (We are also  
advertising a permnent job, in any field in economics, but the HET gap  
is more likely to be filled on a temporary basis.) Bristol has a strong 
department (and is a good city to live in). 
 
This possibility arises because I will be head of department and hence  
pretty much a full time administrator for the next three years. My HET  
course has 70+ students signed up for next year and will need teaching.

An outline of the HET course as I taught it last year can be found at

though if someone takes it over they could reshape it (within reason)  
to fit their interests.
