Brown welcomes talented group of 67 new faculty members

PROVIDENCE, R.I. [Brown University] - As the 2024-25 academic year begins at Brown and more than 3,200 new undergraduate, graduate and medical students arrive on College Hill, the University also welcomes a group of 67 new scholars to the Brown faculty.

Brown's newest faculty members represent a wide range of backgrounds, perspectives, research activities and teaching interests.

"From public health to political science, biostatistics to comparative literature, this new faculty cohort's varied experiences and areas of expertise reflect Brown's commitment to fostering a world-class, vibrant academic and research community," said Brown University Provost Frank Doyle. "The depth of expertise and diversity among our newest scholars not only enrich our intellectual environment but also strengthen our ability to address complex global challenges with innovative and interdisciplinary approaches."

In addition to professors, associate professors, assistant professors, lecturers and teaching faculty members, this year's group includes a significant increase in the number of research faculty. That change reflects Brown's efforts to increase investments in faculty, staff and students who conduct and support research - articulated in Brown's Building on Distinction strategic plan and its related operational plans - to position the University to deepen and broaden the positive impact it makes in the world.

The new faculty members will serve across the University's academic departments, divisions and schools.

"Welcoming new faculty to Brown is one of the most exciting moments of the academic year," Doyle said. "Their fresh perspectives, innovative research and commitment to excellence will undoubtedly enrich our community and elevate our shared mission. I look forward to seeing how their contributions will shape the future of our University and inspire the next generation of leaders."
