Position Description
Vanderbilt University’s Center for the Study of Democratic Institutions (CSDI) seeks up to three Senior Visiting Scholars to conduct research on political institutions, opinion or behavior during the 2026-27 academic year. Applications are welcome from scholars of all ranks or equivalent professional positions. The specific length of the appointment will be negotiated on a case-by-case basis, but we especially welcome applications from scholars who are interested in spending the entire academic year at Vanderbilt. There is no teaching requirement associated with these positions. Successful candidates will receive office space and computing resources. Candidates should submit a vita and a cover letter describing your research project, what you hope to accomplish while at CSDI, and why spending time at Vanderbilt would provide a useful setting for that research. The letter should also indicate how long the desired time in residence would be and whether there are existing financial arrangements that would be relevant (e.g., if you have a paid semester’s leave and health care benefits). Applications will be considered on a rolling basis, but priority will be given to those received before January 5, 2026.We are not accepting applications for this job through AcademicJobsOnline.Org right now.
