Visiting Assistant Professor position at Delaware State University

[Kent Messer]

Dear ESA Colleagues,

I wanted to bring to your attention that Delaware State University (DSU) is hiring a full-time Visiting Assistant Professor starting summer 2026. The position is 75% research / 25% teaching.  The successful candidate will be based at DSU in Dover, and will have the opportunity to work with me and Leah Palm-Forster at the University of Delaware on NSF-funded research related to saltwater intrusion, conservation, and coastal resilience. We’re especially interested in someone with training in experimental economics, survey research, or related methods. 

If you know advanced PhD students, recent PhD graduates, postdocs, or others who might be a good fit, I’d be very grateful if you could pass this along or share it with your networks. I’m happy to answer any questions about the position.

Best regards,
Kent
