     management. Qualified applicants will be teaching at the

     ABOUT THE ENVIRONMENT:

     The Department of Risk Management and Insurance is one of
     the oldest and most influential risk management programs in
     the U.S. It has a distinguished history of serving
     students, alumni, and the risk management profession.
     Beginning in 2003 the Department adopted a strategic plan
     to transform itself into a premier center for scholarship
     and education in the valuation and management of risk
     broadly defined. We have assembled a group of junior
     faculty members trained in the most advanced methods for a
     coordinated study of risk management problems at their most
     fundamental levels. Our Masters and Ph.D. program curricula
     have been revised and focus on quantitative aspects of risk
     measurement and risk management. The persons selected for
     these positions will play an important part in the future
     development of the department by complementing our existing
     faculty members from a research standpoint, through active
     participation in the Ph.D. program, research seminars, and
     helping to improve an already strong research environment.

     The salary level and course load is competitive and
     additional research support will be provided.
