Essential Criteria: - A good first degree and a doctorate - Evidence of ability to engage in high level research - Evidence of teaching ability - Ability to develop university level courses

The Mellon Fellow in Public Policy will be expected to divide his or her time 50:50 between teaching and research.

We are particularly interested to receive applications from those making use of quantitative methods in their work.
