Post-Doctoral Research Assistant, Probasco Distinguished Chair of Free Enterprise, College of Business - UT Chattanooga
About The Position
Housed in the Gary W. Rollins College of Business at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, the Probasco Distinguished Chair of Free Enterprise invites applications for a post-doctoral research fellow beginning August 3, 2026. The Probasco Chair is among the largest endowed chairs of free enterprise in the nation. The mission of the Chair is to study the American free enterprise system and the conditions under which it operates most efficiently, engage in high-level scholarly research, and contribute to the public knowledge and understanding of economic theory and practice. The post-doctoral position is a full-time research position that provides an individual, who has recently completed a doctoral degree, an opportunity to expand his or her academic and research skills under the guidance of the Probasco Chair. Preference will be given to those candidates specializing in fields related to Austrian economics, public choice, law and economics, development economics, and/or political economy. This position will teach up to two courses per semester. The position is subject to the availability of funds, and as a result, is a temporary position. The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga is in the heart of one of Tennessee’s largest and most dynamic cities.
