Johns Hopkins University: School of Government and Policy


Johns Hopkins University’s recently launched School of Government and Policy seeks to recruit members of its founding faculty in multiple disciplines and fields of study, including (but not limited to) political science, economics, law, sociology, and history. This is an extraordinary opportunity for preeminent and entrepreneurial faculty to build an entirely new school—one that transcends disciplinary boundaries, reimagines how scholars, students, and practitioners can productively work together, and builds enduring and productive lines of communication across political and social divisions.

The first phase of hiring will focus primarily on tenured faculty who can play a leadership role in the school’s development. We seek faculty who have a demonstrated interest in and vision for building essential areas of scholarly excellence, launching new academic programs, and/or developing impactful collaborations with partners across and outside the university. Some hires will connect with university-wide initiatives in Data Science and Artificial Intelligence and technology and policy. Other recruits—including those focused on municipal governance, bureaucratic politics and public management, and various domestic and international policy challenges—will contribute to core areas of inquiry within the school itself.

Johns Hopkins is committed to active recruitment of a diverse faculty and student body. The University is an Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity Employer.
