Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Statement

At the Institute for Advanced Study's creation in 1930, the founders wrote: "fundamental in our purpose, and our express desire, [is] that in the appointments to the Staff and Faculty as well as in the admission of workers and students, no account shall be taken, directly or indirectly, of race, religion, or sex." We recognize these ideals require continual examination of our culture. Today, we strive to create a community in which all people feel welcomed, respected, and valued. We seek to address the harmful effects of inequity and discrimination on individual Scholars, Faculty, Staff, and scholarship as a whole. We affirm equality and embrace our differences as we work to transform principles into action and grow new forms of scholarly community.

We offer a competitive salary and benefits package which includes partially Institute paid health, vision and dental insurance, an excellent retirement plan, and a generous paid time off program.
