Join Us at Hopkins Press
We envision a future where knowledge enriches the lives of every person.
Our expansive vision - that every person’s life be strengthened by knowledge - energizes us every day. Whether you join Hopkins Press in our books or journals publishing program, Project MUSE (the massive online database of humanities and social sciences scholarship from hundreds of publishers), or Hopkins Fulfillment Services, you will contribute to this vision in important ways. You might be involved in selecting and developing innovative ideas, research, and scholarship; providing global access to the work of our authors and publishing partners; creating groundbreaking technologies to enhance discovery and learning; or connecting people to the most trusted knowledge from global researchers, scholars, and educators. Opportunities at Hopkins Press abound for you to build your own knowledge and skills in the world of publishing and distribution, all while contributing to the betterment of society.
Through numerous staff-directed working groups, we have charted and continue to implement actions to create and sustain the culture and working environment that sets us up for individual, team, and organizational success. We are striving for a culture that values and promotes learning, caring, and job fulfillment while exemplifying aspects of purpose, safety, and order. Our culture work is guided by the work of Boris Groysberg, Jeremiah Lee, Jesse Price, and J. Yo-Jud Cheng.
We are committed to honoring every person’s inherent dignity as human beings and making that a foundational principle of our organization’s culture. We strive to connect to our own dignity, the dignity of others, and the dignity of something greater than ourselves. Our dignity principles are based on Leading with Dignity by Dr. Donna Hicks.
We have myriad opportunities to dismantle barriers to diversity, equity, inclusion, and access across our publishing and distribution organization. We are dedicated to building antiracism and inclusion into our culture, adopting inclusive and equitable hiring practices, building our content plans around underrepresented voices, and creating a working environment that enables our people and organization to flourish.
