Awards will be announced by early March. Selection will be based on candidates’ demonstrated potential to enrich human rights teaching and research at Berkeley.

Appointment will be for one academic year as a Postdoctoral Fellow and Lecturer, with the possibility of a one-year renewal for 2015-16. The fellow will be expected to participate in human rights research seminars and colloquia on campus. The fellow will also teach one course per year and advise undergraduate and graduate students on their human rights projects. Salary range will be $39,264 – $44,340, depending on years of experience, and includes medical benefits for the candidate and dependents.
