The Department of International Studies in the School of Global and International Studies, College of Arts and Sciences, Indiana University Bloomington, invites applications for an assistant or associate professor of human rights, broadly conceived to include the recognition, promotion, and protection of human rights by international institutions. The ideal candidate will also possess knowledge of the growing importance of social movements, NGOs, and the private sector in upholding human rights, and be able to leverage and expand the university’s resources across a broad range of constituencies.

The successful applicant will also be part of the School of Global and International Studies plan for developing a strong research profile and active engagement in policy discussions of the day.

To ensure full consideration applicants must submit a letter of application, curriculum vitae, contact information for three references, copies of research publications and course syllabi, and teaching evaluations by December 1, 2014.
