Both theorists and applied researchers are encouraged to apply. We further welcome candidates who bring a demonstrated commitment to working with public institutions, industry, and civil society to implement their ideas. We are particularly interested in candidates who are keen to engage scholars and practitioners beyond their immediate areas of expertise.
About the School of Government and Policy Anchored at the Hopkins Bloomberg Center in the heart of Washington, D.C., the School will be a hub of discovery, collaboration, and impact. At a time of political, social, and technological upheaval, this new school will support and inform scholarly and practical efforts to build a more effective government and solve complex policy challenges. The school will scrutinize institutional reforms that have the potential to improve government operations, examine the potential for advancing technologies to transform government workforces and operations, develop novel approaches to multidisciplinary education and experiential learning, and foster dialogue across a wide range of worldviews, backgrounds, and epistemologies.
Similar to JHU's other academic divisions, the School is grounded in a commitment to both world‑class research and exceptional education. It will prepare the next generation of policy and public sector leaders to advance evidence‑based solutions to society's greatest challenges through innovative approaches that: embed science, data, and technology in curricula; give students the tools required to think strategically and creatively about government and policy innovations; and emphasize the critical need for cross‑functional skills and capabilities at all levels of government and in bridging public, non‑profit, and industry sectors. We are building a community of scholars, experts, and leaders from a wide range of disciplines who embrace intellectual pluralism and challenge conventional thinking through rigorous inquiry.
Over the course of its founding years, the school will grow to encompass 35 full‑time faculty members with expertise that spans both theoretical and applied approaches to public policy and government. Additional hires will be made with other units across the University, yielding an even larger and more integrated tenured and tenure‑track faculty.
Qualifications Applicants must hold a Ph.D. in an appropriate field or J.D. by the time their appointment begins. Candidates must have demonstrated an ability to conduct outstanding independent research and show promise for excellent teaching, mentoring, and public engagement.
Application Instructions Interested applicants should submit a cover letter, CV, two writing samples, and three letters of recommendation. Applications will be considered on an ongoing basis and until positions are filled. Submit your application via Interfolio: apply.interfolio.com/173959.
