Human Rights Position at Seton Hall School of Diplomacy

My colleagues at the Diplomacy School have just alerted me to an interesting new opportunity.  All who are interested should apply.  Here is the job ad:

The School of Diplomacy and International Relations at Seton Hall University invites applications for a tenure-track assistant professor position in international human rights law to commence in the 2016-2017 academic year. Applicants must possess a J.D. A Ph.D. in a related discipline is desirable. The expertise to teach and develop other courses related to international law is a plus, including courses in European Union Institutions, or courses related to the Middle East. The position is subject to final budgetary approval.

Successful applicants will demonstrate the ability or potential to teach effectively in a professional school at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. All applicants should have strong research backgrounds or demonstrate substantial potential for conducting important academic research in their field of specialization.

The School of Diplomacy and International Relations prepares graduate and undergraduate students for careers in international affairs and operates in an exclusive alliance with the United Nations Foundation/United Nations Association of the United States of America.

Located only 14 miles from New York City, Seton Hall University is the oldest and one of the largest diocesan universities in the nation. Seton Hall has recently developed a required, undergraduate Core Curriculum, and occasional teaching of a course or two within this curriculum will be required.

All candidates should provide a curriculum vitae, examples of scholarly work, evidence of teaching effectiveness (if available), three letters of recommendation, and a graduate transcript. To receive full consideration, materials should be sent electronically by October 2, 2015 via www.shu.edu (follow employment links).
