2 months ago


Nashville, United States Vanderbilt University Full time

The Director of Industrial Policy and Economic Security is responsible for the development and implementation of the policy agenda and research portfolio associated with the Project on Industrial Policy and Economic Security at the Vanderbilt Policy Accelerator for Political Economy and Regulation. The Director will spend a significant amount of time providing strategic policy guidance and programmatic oversight of key VPA priorities. This position reports to the Faculty Director of VPA.

The Vanderbilt Policy Accelerator (VPA) focuses on a small number of cutting-edge topics in political economy and regulation. We bring research, education, and policy proposals in these areas from infancy to maturity and periphery to centrality. We cultivate, grow, and spread research, education, and policy ideas-and at a pace that aligns with the urgency of today's challenges. We are currently in the midst of a political economy revolution. From antitrust to trade, swift changes are taking place that are reshaping how policymakers and the general public think about economic policy. These changes create an opportunity to advance new paradigms, research, and policy ideas. We are action focused. Each project we undertake seeks to accelerate developments in education, research, policy, and public debate.

To be considered for this position, candidates must submit a cover letter, CV, and list of references.
