Bloomberg Distinguished Professor, Computational Social Sciences

Johns Hopkins, founded in 1876, is America's first research
university and home to nine world-class academic divisions working
together as one university.

Salary : $170,000 - $327,000 per year

Johns Hopkins University: Zanvyl Krieger School of Arts and
Sciences: Department of Political Science

Description

The appointment will be in a social science department in the
Krieger School of Arts and Sciences and in one or more additional
units to be determined based on the candidate's expertise.

The Bloomberg Distinguished
Professorships (BDP) Program , made possible through a gift
from Johns Hopkins University alumnus Michael R. Bloomberg, was
established in
2013 as an ambitious investment in interdisciplinary research
to bridge academic disciplines and open novel fields of inquiry to
address issues of critical global importance. Starting from an
initial cohort of 50 individual BDP positions, the program has

more than doubled in size through a faculty-led process for
identifying areas of inquiry that are best pursued through new
research clusters. In 2023, Johns Hopkins
announced an expansion of this successful program as a
signature element of the Johns Hopkins Data Science and Artificial
Intelligence (DSAI) Institute, an interdisciplinary institute
dedicated to advancing education, research, and the real-world
translation of trustworthy AI and data-driven discovery.

A thematic cluster focused on the computational social sciences was
selected as a recruitment area to be affiliated with the DSAI
Institute. The Departments of Political Science, Sociology, and the
SNF Agora Institute in collaboration with the BDP program seek
established faculty candidates in computational social science. The
appointment will be in a social science department in the Krieger
School of Arts and Sciences and in one or more additional units to
be determined based on the candidate’s expertise. The search
committee includes representatives from Political Science,
Sociology and the SNF Agora Institute.

Qualifications

Qualified candidates will have achieved substantial impact in
