44 | Johns Hopkins University | School of Education | Grigg Endowed Professor | 2 | $140,009 - $214,580 | The Grigg Professor will join the School of Education and the broader University at an exciting time where both the School and University are poised to make even more important contributions in the education policy space. The SOE continues to emphasize research and academic programming in this space, including a new master's program Education Policy, which prepares education leaders of the 21st century with wide-ranging skills necessary to shape effective, evidence-based education policies. In addition to the School's well-regarded research centers, Johns Hopkins University is making new investments in the academic and professional space of public policy, creating an opportune moment for the Grigg Professor to add leadership, vision, and energy to this work. The Grigg Professor will play a lead role in identifying opportunities for synergy and leverage to increase the energy and impact of all that Hopkins is doing in disparate areas of interest and activity and therefore in maximizing the University's impact in education policy writ large. | https://apply.interfolio.com/176793 | ||||||||||||||||||||
