In 1990-91 he was a visiting professor of government at Harvard University and today remains affiliated with Harvard’s Olin Institute for Strategic Studies. While working in Washington, D.C., at the Carnegie Endowment and the Woodrow Wilson Center, Joffe taught at Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies.
