As Director, the successful candidate will provide visionary leadership to sustain and grow a program that spans literature, history, politics, religious studies, gender studies, sociology, musicology, languages, and the arts. We seek a leader with the capacity to strengthen enrollment, expand partnerships, foster exchange of diverse viewpoints, and articulate and execute a compelling vision for the program’s scholarly profile, public presence, and future growth. The program is home to two centers of excellence: Olamot: Center for Scholarly and Cultural Exchange with Israel, which fosters academic and cultural exchange with Israeli partners, and the Institute for the Study of Contemporary Antisemitism (ISCA), which advances the study of and teaching about contemporary antisemitism and houses a research lab on social media and hate. The program is also advancing several strategic initiatives. These include a major project funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities and led by ISCA and the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars, Addressing Antisemitism as a Global Challenge: Political, Cultural, and Intellectual Sources and Manifestations, and a new Israel Studies and Business program that connects students with the economic, entrepreneurial, and technological dimensions of contemporary Israel. The program also features an outstanding Hebrew curriculum supported by new technologies, and a strong Yiddish program, along with broad offerings in Jewish history, culture and society.
