Cato Institute Looking to Hire an Executive Power Scholar
An opportunity to work at the nation's leading libertarian think tank.
The Cato Institute - where I am the Simon Chair in Constitutional Studies (in addition to my primary position at George Mason University) - is looking to hire a full-time executive power scholar. Here is a description of the position:
The Cato Institute seeks a full-time Executive Power Scholar to: 1) conduct original research on the rise, uses, and abuses of executive authority in the United States; and 2) develop reform ideas and proposals in order to reduce presidential and executive branch power back to its proper constitutional limits, in order to restore the separation of powers envisioned by the founders. This position will advance Cato's mission by producing rigorous scholarship that analyzes constitutional structure, unilateral presidential action, administrative growth, and the separation of powers from a libertarian perspective, emphasizing limited government, individual liberty, and the rule of law.
The projected salary range for this role is $110,000 – $150,000 per year. Compensation is based on the successful candidate's experience and skills.
