Profile of the Associate Professorship Organizing for Social Issues (tenured)
Eligible female candidates for this tenured position should be specialized in education and research of organizing for social issues, also known as grand challenges or wicked problems ( for example climate change, sustainable production and consumption, migration or poverty and inequality). Organizing for social issues requires social innovations and entrepreneurship as well as new organizational forms (e.g., cross-sectoral partnering) that concern the involvement of multiple stakeholders, collaboration in multidisciplinary, international network-based projects that execute tasks over multiple iterations over longer periods. Each of these aspects of organizing for social issues defines important competences we are looking for in the ideal candidate.

I'll be on the market in a few years. I'm probably not good enough to really choose, but I'll ask anyways: besides the government jobs, are there any industries/firms with high job security?

Economist on "To ambitious international students from developing countries: Don't go to LRMs"
I am one of you guys, was very passionate about research and had planned to be an academic for my whole life. I did math in college in my home country but like many of you knew no big name to write me a recommendation to get to a HRM. I heard from people around me that what you end up doing in your PhD is more important than where you do it. So I went to LRM following this misguided advice and here I am two years out of grad school, AP in a VLRM school, with a horror story about my tenure track experience. I had an extremely bad placement and bad experience with publishing which overall is worse than average. However, I had not been in such a rot, had I known about this forum and realities when I was applying. So I write this here to hopefully help someone out.
1) Read this thread to see how faculty and students from US/Europe are really thinking about you when you go to LRM. https://www.econjobrumors.com/topic/the-real-problem-with-lrm-grad-schools
There are some great points made there about the LRM culture.
2) I assume you are like me ambitious and passionate about research and your goal is publishing and collaborating with the same people like you. So your main motivation from coming to US is not getting a green card and you are not going to feel fulfilled if you end up isolated in a little college teaching dumb undergrads and getting no where in hitting good journals.
3) Economics is very hierarchical. So it matters a lot which department you graduate. Only HRM graduates get exposed to top people to build networks for collaboration and eventually get to hit those journals and get a shot to have a contribution. This is not to say HRM graduates have it all easy, it merely, says they have a shot that you don't.
4) Evenif you decide to go non-academic, you will again get ignored because of your lack of shiny pedigree. It is very hard to get a google, amazon type job or a wall street job.
5) Again, read that thread in 1. In LRMs most of the faculty are bitter and think of you as losers who couldn't make it to HRM so they have no incentive to train you properly or help you make it. In fact, many of them not themselves as good as top people either. So it can very well happen that the only good person around is a theory guy but, hey, there is no market for theory for people from LRM.
6) So please don't go to LRM for econ or finance PhD. If you are serious about doing PhD and can't get to HRM, change your major and go to CS or Applied Math. A number of places with LRM econ programs have solid CS and Applied Math programs. You will most probably not get academic jobs out of them but you have far more and better options with CS PhD and wall street respects your Math and CS PhD more than Econ/Finance PhD. You can do cool things with a CS PhD in a tech firm which is more satisfying than fighting tenure clock in a college.

I would like to know how much an outside offer at a top 20 econ department / top business school can pull ??
I am interested in general numbers. But think also for concreteness to a cv with 3 or 4 top 5s, 1 or 2 R&Rs at top 5s, few top fields / general 2nd tier (EJ, RESTAT, ...). all pubs w/out seniors. applied field.
What drives outside offers at the associate level?

LRM here. Will be done with the PhD soon. Tired of the West and want to move to Asia. I’m thinking of applying to Fulbright University in Vietnam. It is based on the American liberal arts model – and supposed to be the first of its kind in Vietnam. Opened a couple of years ago.
Does anybody have any info on this place? Teaching load? Pay? Tenure requirements?
