| The NYU Department of Politics is one of the best political science departments in the world. It has expertise in many different substantive fields, but is distinctive as a department whose members share a concern for confronting theoretically rigorous models with high quality empirical data, analyzed in methodologically sophisticated ways.
Among many recent awards recognizing the excellence of our faculty: George Downs was appointed first incumbent of NYU’s newly endowed Bernhardt Denmark Professor of International Affairs; Neal Beck received the 2011 career achievement award from the Society for Political Methodology; Adam Przeworski received the 2010 Johan Skytte Prize, the most prestigious in political science; Howard Rosenthal received the 2010 William Riker Prize, recognizing a body of work that has advanced the scientific study of politics.
We look forward to welcoming four outstanding new colleagues in the coming year: Tiberiu Dragu (Stanford, Illinois); Jennifer Larson (Harvard); Pablo Querubin (MIT, Harvard Academy); and Arturas Rozenas (Duke).
Christopher Paik (Stanford) also joins the department as NYUAD standing faculty in residence. |
