General Description
Salary: $170,000 - $327,000 per year
The Bloomberg Distinguished Professorships (BDP) Program, made possible through a gift from Johns Hopkins University alumnus Michael R. Bloomberg, was established in 2013 as an ambitious investment in interdisciplinary research to bridge academic disciplines and open novel fields of inquiry to address issues of critical global importance. Starting from an initial cohort of 50 individual BDP positions, the program has more than doubled in size through a faculty-led process for identifying areas of inquiry that are best pursued through new research clusters. In 2023, Johns Hopkins announced an expansion of this successful program as a signature element of the Johns Hopkins Data Science and Artificial Intelligence (DSAI) Institute, an interdisciplinary institute dedicated to advancing education, research, and the real-world translation of trustworthy AI and data-driven discovery.
A thematic cluster focused on the computational social sciences was selected as a recruitment area to be affiliated with the DSAI Institute. The Departments of Political Science, Sociology, and the SNF Agora Institute in collaboration with the BDP program seek established faculty candidates in computational social science. The appointment will be in a social science department in the Krieger School of Arts and Sciences and in one or more additional units to be determined based on the candidate's expertise. The search committee includes representatives from Political Science, Sociology and the SNF Agora Institute.
Qualifications
Qualified candidates will have achieved substantial impact in computational social science through the development and/or use of innovative methods to address major questions in social science. We anticipate making at least three appointments to form a cluster in computational social science. Successful candidates will be Bloomberg Distinguished Professors and will have access to significant computing and software engineering resources through Johns Hopkins' new DSAI Institute.

Exceptions to the COVID and flu vaccine requirements may be provided to individuals for religious beliefs or medical reasons. Requests for an exception must be submitted to the JHU vaccination registry. This change does not apply to the School of Medicine (SOM).

The following additional vaccine requirements may apply, depending upon your campus. Please contact the hiring department for more information. The pre-employment physical for positions in clinical areas, laboratories, working with research subjects, or involving community contact requires documentation of immune status against Rubella (German measles), Rubeola (Measles), Mumps, Varicella (chickenpox), Hepatitis B and documentation of having received the Tdap (Tetanus, diphtheria, pertussis) vaccination. This may include documentation of having two (2) MMR vaccines; two (2) Varicella vaccines; or antibody status to these diseases from laboratory testing. Blood tests for immunities to these diseases are ordinarily included in the pre-employment physical exam except for those employees who provide results of blood tests or immunization documentation from their own health care providers. Any vaccinations required for these diseases will be given at no cost in our Occupational Health office.
