General Description

SAIS Europe of the School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS) and the Stavros Niarchos Foundation (SNF) Agora Institute at Johns Hopkins University seek faculty (or nominations of faculty) for endowed professorships at the level of Associate or Full Professors who focus on the study of democracy under stress, particularly as related to questions of civic engagement and inclusive discourse. We define these terms broadly and seek scholars from a range of disciplines, including but not limited to scholars who study the dynamics of states; state contexts; political, civic, social, and economic organizations and institutions; social movements and social networks, as well as their role in shaping, interacting with, constraining, making possible, and challenging the realization of democracy in global contexts. We have a particular interest in scholars whose scholarship focuses on European Union membership and its impact. This position will be located at SAIS Europe in Bologna, Italy and will be jointly appointed between SAIS and the SNF Agora Institute. Established in 1955 as an integral part of the School of Advanced International Studies of the Johns Hopkins University (SAIS), SAIS Europe in Bologna, Italy has been educating global leaders in the area of international affairs for almost 70 years. As a highly selective graduate institution with a distinguished faculty, SAIS consistently ranks as one of the top schools of international relations in the world. SAIS was founded to provide a practical approach to training students in international leadership and foreign relations, and to provide mid-career educational opportunities for those already working in related fields. Today, SAIS Europe hosts around 200 full-time students hailing from 40 countries pursuing master- and doctoral-level degrees, with a diverse, international group of over 60 resident and adjunct faculty.

The SNF Agora Institute is a new, $150M multi-disciplinary initiative that integrates research, teaching, and practice to strengthen global democracy by improving and expanding civic engagement and inclusive dialogue, and by supporting inquiry that leads to real-world change. Housed in the university's Krieger School of Arts and Sciences, the SNF Agora Institute at JHU will serve as a leading forum bringing together experts from a range of fields--including but not limited to political science, sociology, history, neuroscience, psychology, philosophy, and ethics.
