General Description Grigg Endowed Professorship The School of Education at Johns Hopkins University () invites nominations and applications for the position of the Grigg Endowed Professor at the Assistant or Associate Professor rank. The School of Education seeks a productive and publicly engaged scholar, preferably trained in economics, with quantitative expertise including experience teaching research methods courses. This is a tenure-eligible position. Working collaboratively across the School, the Grigg Professor will contribute vision, energy, and consensus-building abilities to the ongoing development of a young and highly-ranked graduate school of education. The Grigg Professor will provide intellectual leadership in scholarship, policy engagement, and teaching with a focus on relevant education topics at the K-12 or potentially the post-secondary level. The Grigg Professor will engage broadly across the School through their research, their contribution to current and new programs, their teaching, and their support of connections between the School's many thriving research-focused centers. The School of Education Johns Hopkins University has prepared education leaders for over 100 years. The School of Education (SOE) took its current form in 2007. SOE's mission is to generate knowledge that informs policy and practice and educates society to address the most important challenges faced by individuals, schools, and communities. Despite being less than 20 years old, the School's research capacity has grown rapidly. In the last two fiscal years, the School has averaged $37M in new research awards, with nearly half of this coming from federal sources. Today the School enrolls around 1,100 graduate students and conferred over 560 degrees, including over 50 doctorates, in 2024-2025. It has 70 full-time faculty and approximately 24,000 alumni. The School's strategic plan - Think Fearlessly, Act Courageously - will guide its efforts to "advance evidence-based change in our schools and communities," and its investments in programs, faculty hiring and development, and community impact and application. The plan will both enhance SOE's strengths in education, research, and community-based partnerships, and further position it to take advantage of the University's new School of Government & Policy and its new Data Science and AI Institute. The new plan establishes the School's vision - "To serve as the nation's most credible source of knowledge on the most important challenges facing education" - and a new framing for its mission: the School "produces solutions-focused research and prepares leaders who are empowered to use evidence to transform schools and organizations to become more effective and equitable." The School is proud to count several well-established trans-disciplinary centers among its assets. These include Institute for Education Policy, the Center for Research and Reform in Education, the Center for the Social Organization of Schools, the Center for Technology in Education, and the Center for Safe and Healthy Schools. The School of Education has developed and implemented a strategic vision and a comprehensive approach to advancing its commitment to being a diverse, inclusive, equitable, and just community, building on the University's 2021 Second Roadmap on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion . In January 2026, the School will move back into its building at the University's Homewood campus, reoccupying it after a complete renovation funded by philanthropy. This new facility will provide additional opportunities to build on and integrate the functions and activities of departments, centers, institutes, and programs. The role 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. Of particular importance, the Grigg Professor will identify opportunities to collaborate with the University's new School for Government and Policy, announced in October 2023, which is based in Washington, D.C. at the Hopkins Bloomberg Center. This school is Hopkins' first new academic division since the School of Education in 2007. The University's investment in policy and its expanding presence in Washington, D.C., create exciting opportunities for collaborations in programs, events, faculty recruitment, and fundraising. Other Hopkins' schools, including the Bloomberg School of Public Health and the Krieger School of Arts & Sciences, offer additional opportunities for collaboration.
