He taught at Harvard University as an Assistant and Associate Professor of Government from 1994 to 2001, and has been a visiting fellow at the Woodrow Wilson Center for International Scholars 2003-2004 and a visiting scholar at the Russell Sage Foundation 1998-1999.

He is the author of Between Two Nations: The Political Predicament of Latinos in New York City (Cornell, 1998), and the editor of Governing American Cities: Inter-Ethnic Coalitions, Competition and Conflict (Russell Sage Foundation, 2001). Jones-Correa has also written more than a dozen articles and book chapters on, among other things, the diffusion of racial restrictive covenants, religion and political participation, Latino identity and politics, the role of gender in shaping immigrant politics, dual nationality, immigrant naturalization and voting, and Hispanics as a foreign policy lobby. He is currently completing a book looking at the re-negotiation of ethnic relations in the aftermath of civil disturbances in New York, Los Angeles, Miami, and Washington D.C. and engaged in two additional projects: one on the increasing ethnic diversity of suburbs, and its implication for local and national politics, and the other the design of a new national and state-by-state survey of Latinos in the United States.

Jones-Correa's research and teaching interests include, among other things, immigrant politics and immigration policy, minority politics and inter-ethnic relations in the United States, and urban and suburban politics.
