Academic Recruitment
The Department of Economics at McGill University invites applications for two positions, fields and rank open, though with particular interest in public economics, macroeconomics and industrial organization. Senior candidates must have a strong and continuing publication record and demonstrated effectiveness in teaching. Junior candidates must show clear potential for both. The search begins immediately and applications will be considered until the position is filled. Candidates should submit a c.v. and three references to Professor William Watson, Department of Economics, McGill University, 855 Sherbrooke Street West, Montreal, Quebec, Canada H3A 2T7. All qualified candidates are encouraged to apply. In accordance with Canadian immigration regulations, Canadians and permanent residents of Canada will be given priority. McGill University is committed to diversity and equity in employment. It welcomes applications from indigenous peoples, visible minorities, ethnic minorities, persons with disabilities, women, persons of minority sexual orientations and gender identities and others who may contribute to further diversification. A working knowledge of French is an asset but is not required. English is the language of instruction at McGill University.

ECON 319: Economic Crises -- Featured in McGill Reporter
It’s not often that a university course is conceived, approved and
launched in just a few months. But in the famously dry science of
economics, these are no ordinary times. Thanks to some fast work by
Prof. William Watson and several colleagues in the Department of
Economics, the 66 students enrolled in ECON 319 are getting an
opportunity to study the field’s most dramatic crisis since the Great
Depression, even as its effects continue to unfold. |

Prof. Jean-Marie Dufour The first recipient of the Canadian Economics Association’s John-Rae Prize, the first Quebecker to receive the Killam Prize for social sciences, a two-time winner of the Marcel Dagenais Prize awarded by the Société canadienne de science économique, the first Quebecker elected as Fellow of the Econometric Society, the first Canadian fellow of the American Statistical Society, and an Officer of the Ordre national du Québec, Prof. Jean-Marie Dufour can now add another rare distinction to a long list: in November 2008, he received the Prix du Québec, and the following month was appointed an Officer of the Order of Canada. A profile of Prof. Dufour is on the Prix du Québec website (link in French). Further information about the Order of Canada can be found here. |
