The University of Pennsylvania’s Andrea Mitchell Center for the Study of Democracy invites applications for a one-year Postdoctoral Fellowship in any discipline whose research is pertinent to the theme of the Center’s 2018-2019 faculty workshop series, "Democracy
in Trouble?" In addition to pursuing independent research, the postdoctoral fellow is expected to attend monthly workshops connected to the faculty series and contribute to the events’ lively discussions; teach one undergraduate course related to their academic
interests; co-lead a research seminar for Mitchell Center undergraduate fellows; and attend other Mitchell events whenever possible. The stipend is $53,800 plus benefits, including health insurance.<br class="">
<br class="">
The “Democracy in Trouble?” theme year grows from a growing sense that democratic governance is under siege around the world. New democracies such as Poland and Hungary are reverting to authoritarian practices. Voters throughout the West – and elsewhere –
have shown a willingness to jettison democratic institutions and norms to pursue the narrow interests of national, linguistic, or religious groups. Commitment to democracy has waned in particular among young people. The United States and other countries have
witnessed demagogic attacks on the media, the courts, and an array of perceived internal enemies. “Democracy in Trouble?” seeks to both examine and counter these trends with wide-ranging discussions that reach our entire campus community and beyond.<br class="">
<br class="">
The faculty series will consist of two conferences that bookend the academic year. The first will provide a frank appraisal of democracy’s current challenges. The second will focus on strategies of resistance to authoritarian rule. In a series of faculty
seminars throughout the year we will host public discussions led by engaged faculty on tough issues around democracy: how the media can better serve it; whether economic reforms are necessary to bolster it; whether immigration challenges it; how authoritarian
regimes like Russia seek to undermine it; how voter suppression affects its operation; and more.<br class="">
<br class="">
Global in its outlook, multifaceted in its purposes, the Andrea Mitchell Center for the Study of Democracy seeks to contribute to the ongoing quest for democratic values, ideas, and institutions throughout the world. In addition to hosting speakers from the
fields of academia, journalism, politics, and public policy, the Mitchell Center supports undergraduate, graduate, and postdoctoral research. It continues the legacy of the Penn Program for Democracy, Citizenship, and Constitutionalism, which fostered interdisciplinary
scholarship from 2007 to 2017.<br class="">

The University of Pennsylvania’s Andrea Mitchell Center for the Study of Democracy invites applications for a Postdoctoral Fellowship created in partnership with the Jack Miller Center. The position is for one year, renewable for a second year upon satisfactory
performance. The Program welcomes both empirical and normative scholarship from scholars in any discipline who intend to pursue an academic career primarily aimed at advancing learning on the governmental and economic institutions of the United States, especially
their historical roots in the principles and politics of the Constitution’s founding era, and the ideas, debates, and contests that have shaped their subsequent development.<br class="">
<br class="">
In addition to pursuing independent research and participating generally in the intellectual life of the Penn community, the JMC Postdoctoral Fellow at the Andrea Mitchell Center is expected to attend the Mitchell Center monthly faculty workshop series and
contribute to the events’ lively discussions; teach one undergraduate course related to their academic interests; co-lead a research seminar for Mitchell Center undergraduate fellows; and attend other Mitchell events whenever possible.<br class="">
