The Economics Program in the School of Interwoven Arts and Sciences (SIAS) at Krea University invites applications for its Teaching Fellow positions. As a Teaching Fellow in the Economics program, you will have an opportunity to participate in the innovative curriculum design and pedagogy being developed at Krea University. You will also have the opportunity to work closely with our Economics faculty in all aspects of classroom engagement.

The Teaching Fellows Program at Krea University has been envisioned keeping two principles in mind. First, early-career economists are often unsure about pursuing an academic trajectory that incorporates both teaching and research largely because they lack prior teaching experience to make an informed decision. The Teaching Fellow program at Krea addresses this imbalance by providing a conducive environment for early-career academics to explore pedagogy first-hand with the full support and mentorship of the Krea faculty. Second, in order to promote a symbiosis between research and teaching, we encourage our Teaching Fellows to seek and leverage opportunities for professional advancement within and outside the Krea learning environment.
