The position is open to candidates at the assistant, associate, and full professor levels. We seek scholars with an actual or potential record of outstanding research in the tradition inaugurated by Leo Strauss and exemplified by Harvey C. Mansfield. This Chair is dedicated to preserving and advancing Mansfield’s intellectual legacy—his studies of Machiavelli, Tocqueville, the American Founding, and the classical tradition, which have shaped the field for more than half a century.
