Position Summary
Columbia World Projects (CWP) is a university-wide initiative that aims to forge closer and more useful connections between Columbia University's vast research capabilities and the needs of the world. CWP leverages and consults with colleagues and faculty to develop projects that we staff and operate with partners (governments, organizations, businesses and communities) in New York City, across the United States and around the world. Committed to attracting and retaining a diverse staff, CWP is dedicated to increasing diversity in its workforce and in all its initiatives in order to achieve continued excellence and align with Columbia’s commitment to create a vibrant, diverse, equitable and inclusive university community.
Columbia World Projects seeks a Project Director (PD) for its groundbreaking Center for Political Economy at Columbia World Projects. The Center’s mission is to identify and advance the most promising and innovative post-2008 developments within economics, and to promote a new political economy with robust philosophical underpinnings, distinctive for our time, with an institutional, cross-disciplinary orientation connecting economics to, among other subjects, history, law, political science, sociology, public health, engineering and data science. At the core of its work, the Center will develop “idea labs” to advance fresh thinking, shape research agendas, affect graduate training and serve as intellectual and policy incubators across distinct themes in political economy.
Working with the Center’s faculty Co-Directors, and reporting to Center’s Principal Investigator and CWP’s Deputy Director of Research and Engagement, the incoming Director will lead the day-to-day operations of the Center and guide its strategic growth. This includes planning, managing, and coordinating implementation of the Center’s work plans, activities, and initiatives.
