Dear colleagues,
Our department is looking for junior candidates for a joint position with
Social Studies (see description below). Harvard is expecting to hire 70 new
faculty members in the next few years. Approximately two third of these
appointments will be made at the junior level, with the hope of increasing
significantly the rate of internal promotion. We encourage very strong
candidates to apply. Please send your vitae to the address below ASAP. We
plan to set appointments with a limited number of promising candidates at
the ASA.

expect to complete the requirements for their doctoral degree by the start
of the appointment. Applicants should send a dossier including: (1) a Vita

current and projected research activities as well as teaching experience and
