The Institute for the Study of Human Rights (ISHR) at
Columbia University invites applications for a lecturer in human
rights to be appointed in one of the social science departments
(Anthropology, Economics, History, Political Science, Sociology).
This is a full-time, multi-year renewable appointment, with renewal
contingent on successful reviews. Responsibilities will include
teaching undergraduate and graduate courses on topics in human
rights, professional engagement in one’s academic discipline, and
departmental responsibilities at ISHR (including advising and
serving as director of undergraduate or graduate studies). The
successful candidate will be expected to contribute to all aspects
of ISHR’s activities including teaching, research, and
programming.
ISHR is responsible for the academic programs of
the undergraduate major in human rights, the MA degree in human
rights in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, and the Summer
Program in human rights, in addition to several research and
capacity-building programs. For details, please see http://humanrightscolumbia.org/.
ISHR views human rights as a multidisciplinary
field in which scholarship and teaching draw both on relevant
academic disciplines and knowledge of advocacy and other forms of
practice. Key areas within our undergraduate curriculum are:
Politics and History, Culture and Representation, Political Theory
and Philosophy, and Social and Economic Processes.
The Institute seeks candidates whose research,
teaching, and/or professional service demonstrates familiarity with
the field of human rights. Commitment to the promotion of diversity
and inclusion in education, research, and capacity building is a
requirement.
This appointment will ideally begin July 1, 2021, but
can be negotiated.
To ensure full consideration applicants must submit a
letter of application, curriculum vitae, two references, course
syllabi, and teaching evaluations. Review of applications will
begin on June 1st and will continue until the position is
filled.
ALL APPLICATIONS MUST BE MADE
THROUGH Columbia University’s Recruitment of Academic Personnel
System (RAPS). Please upload the following required materials:
letter of application, curriculum vitae, a list of two references,
course syllabi (to be submitted as “Other Document 1,” and teaching
evaluations.
