The person hired in this search will be expected to do research at the intersection of data science and public policy and teach courses in Python and/or R for McCourt's Data Science for Public Policy (DSPP) program. The DSPP program is a two-year MS degree program that trains students to use modern computing power to understand important issues in public policy.

To apply, applicants should submit a cover letter, CV, teaching statement, writing sample, and three letters of recommendation by November 1, 2022.

Applicants for this position may also be considered for the Provost's Distinguished Faculty Fellow program during their first year as an assistant professor. Fellows will have no teaching and service responsibilities during their first year so as to devote their full time effort to building their research program. The Provost's Distinguished Faculty Fellowship program is in its second year at Georgetown University. This program is designed to bring in a cohort of new tenure-line assistant professors from a wide range of backgrounds who demonstrate a commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion in terms of their research, teaching, or service.
