Research Assistants Program

Are you interested in assisting SNF Agora faculty and fellows with research on questions of democracy? Fill out this form to add your info/CV to a pool of RA’s. When projects arise, interested faculty will contact you directly.


SNF Agora Institute faculty, fellows, and affiliates periodically seek the support of student research assistants for a variety of academic projects.

These opportunities: 

  • advance critical areas of inquiry related to SNF Agora’s mission; 
  • deepen the training and scholarship of students at Johns Hopkins University; and 
  • broaden the ways students can participate in the scholarly community at the SNF Agora Institute. 

Institute faculty and affiliates seek to provide funding to students for their time whenever possible; however, funding is not always available and varies from opportunity to opportunity. You may indicate below whether you are open to a volunteer research assistantship. 


Eligibility and Selection 

All enrolled students at Johns Hopkins University are eligible, but priority will be given to students who are part of the Krieger School of Arts and Sciences. Selection will be made on an as-needed basis; as particular areas of interest arise and SNF Agora Institute faculty, fellows, and affiliates seek support for research projects, an institute member will review the students within the pool and contact those individuals whom they feel would be a good fit. Students will be selected based on academic merit, interests, and skills consistent with the nature of the specific project and the mission of the SNF Agora Institute.
