Tenure-Track Faculty Position

The Goldman School of Public Policy (GSPP) and the Othering & Belonging Institute (OBI) at the University of California, Berkeley, seek applicants for a tenure-track Assistant Professor appointment in democracy policy.

We seek accomplished scholars who use rigorous methods to study how public policy shapes civic identity, civic participation, and disputes about civic standing.

Successful candidates will support and advance the research goals of GSPP’s “Democracy Policy” initiative and OBI’s Diversity and Democracy Cluster. The Democracy Policy initiative and OBI’s cluster both aim to build hubs of teaching, practice, and scholarship that examine how public policy shapes democratic processes and institutions, and how those processes and institutions in turn shape public policy. Democracy policies include policies governing elections and voting; speech and expression; policies that shape the functioning of educational institutions, wherein quality public education is a gateway public good; information, journalism, and media integrity; civic, social, and political identity; institutional trust and responsive, accountable government; and data and technology.

The department is committed to addressing the family needs of faculty, including dual career couples and single parents. We are also interested in candidates who have had non-traditional career paths or who have taken time off for family reasons, or who have achieved excellence in careers outside academia.
