For more information, visit http://go.illinois.edu/EEO. Responsibilities: Agricultural finance markets have changed dramatically in the last decade with an explosion of new credit instruments, and new capital providers (e.g., REITs, Institutional funds, secondary markets). The regulatory framework for capital providers has also changed dramatically, as have the market shares of major players, and the needs of producers.

The position will be a key component of the Department’s comprehensive and award-winning farmdoc extension outreach program (http://farmdoc.illinois.edu/) and will also have opportunities to engage with the TIAA Center for Farmland Research. The successful candidate will be expected to develop a nationally recognized extension and applied research program in agricultural finance involving interaction with extension clientele in the agricultural finance community and contributions to farmdoc daily (http://farmdocdaily.illinois.edu/). The position will also contribute to the Department’s undergraduate programs by teaching one course per year on finance, risk, or other aspects of applied economics. Salary/Appointment: Competitive; based on qualifications and rank; 9-month academic year; tenure track; 45% extension, 30% research, 25% teaching. Closing/Starting Date: To ensure full consideration, apply by October 15, 2019. Starting date is negotiable after close date. Application: To apply, please create a candidate profile at http://jobs.illinois.edu and upload a brief cover letter, a CV, a sample of written work, a research statement, a teaching statement, and three letters of reference. Applicants who are currently graduate students or post-doctoral fellows must also submit transcripts from graduate program(s).
