Position Description
The Harvard Kennedy School invites applications for the newly endowed Julie Johnson Kidd Professorship of Indigenous Governance and Development. We seek candidates with distinguished records of scholarship and/or significant engagement in the efforts of Indigenous peoples to exert their powers of self-determination, with possible focus on political challenges; economic development; regulations, laws, and constitutions; environment; education; health; and/or relationships with external governments, jurisdictions, and populations. The position is open for either the full Professor academic rank or Professor of Practice, and we invite applications from accomplished scholars as well as accomplished policymakers and practitioners. In addition, candidates must be able to teach effectively in a professional degree program and to work in a diverse intellectual and social environment. Additionally, candidates should have experience in institutional leadership and engagement with Indigenous communities since an important component of this position is to assist in guiding the work of the Harvard Project on Indigenous Governance and Development (formerly, the Harvard Project on American Indian Economic Development). The Project’s concomitant programs and endowments will complement the Professorship with its staff and additional faculty and student support capacity.
Candidates should submit a cover letter, CV, list of references, and at least two publications to: https://academicpositions.harvard.edu/postings/12343 . Applications will be reviewed beginning September 30, 2023 and continue until the position is filled.
