The Baker Institute is located on the campus of Rice University in Houston, Texas. Click here for directions and a map.
Instructions
are available from our parking page.
The Baker Institute is a university-based think tank that
conducts research on domestic and international subjects and conducts
lectures, seminars and conferences that explore the public policy
issues of those subjects. At this time, we do not offer degrees; however, our fellows and scholars teach numerous courses for undergraduate and graduate students.
When openings for staff positions are available, they are posted
through the Rice University Office of Human Resources.
Applications for staff positions cannot be accepted by the Baker
Institute and must be submitted through the Office of Human Resources.
Please see the employment opportunities page for more information. Fellow and scholar positions are closely tied to specific research
programs of the Baker Institute and are used to bring in experience and
expertise that are not available among the Rice faculty. When openings
occur, they are advertised in appropriate venues. The Baker Institute
often has Rice students working part time as office assistants. These
jobs are posted and advertised on campus. The Baker Institute also has
a student internship program that is open to Rice students. The
internship program is advertised in the Rice Thresher, the student
newspaper of Rice University.
Our goal is to archive relevant discussions and events as electronic
storage space permits. A list of Baker Institute archived webcasts and videos is available here.
Rice students, faculty, staff and administrators are invited to all audience events. The members of the Baker Institute Roundtable, a
donor support group, are also invited to all Baker Institute audience
events. For more information on the Roundtable, please visit the Individual Support section of the website. While these audiences have general
invitations, specific requests for invitations will be accommodated as
available seating permits. Specific requests can be addressed to Melissa Leuellen, the
Baker Institute's events manager for programs and research. She can be
reached at 713.348.4945 or by email at melissal@rice.edu.
