Key Responsibilities: The Research Director will coordinate a unified research agenda in collaboration with affiliated faculty. They will develop coherent, center-branded research strategy and foster collaborative research projects that leverage expertise within our academic community. The position involves leading external communications through conferences, publications, and digital platforms. The Director will represent CES at academic conferences and policy forums while overseeing planning and dissemination of major research initiatives. Responsibilities include managing research budgets and coordinating grant applications for multi-investigator projects. The role focuses on building CES reputation as a leading voice in political economy. The position includes teaching responsibilities in the Moral and Political Economy Program and capacity to continue an aligned personal research program.
