Humphrey School of Public Affairs
University of Minnesota
Job group: Faculty & Instructional
Appointment %: 100
Appointment term: B = 9 monthThe Humphrey School of Public Affairs,
jointly with the Department of Political Science, at the University
of Minnesota invites applications for the Harold E. Stassen World
Peace Chair. Successful candidates will be competitive at the level
of tenured associate or full professor (currently tenured or, if
untenured, with commensurate productivity and experience) and
eligible for tenure at the University of Minnesota.
The successful candidate must have strong, demonstrated, applied
research and teaching interests in global human rights broadly
construed. Expertise may include, for example, comparative foreign
policy, international relations, humanitarianism, forced migration,
or environmental policy with an emphasis on the human rights
dimensions of these fields. Candidates with specific country
expertise or strong regional interests will also be considered. The
search is open with respect to methodological approach and we
welcome applications from scholars employing a broad range of
approaches to research. We are especially interested in candidates
with a demonstrated interest in public engagement and/or human
rights advocacy. Appointment requires evidence of excellence and
national or international policy-relevant impact in scholarly
research, teaching and service.
The Humphrey School of Public Affairs is committed to academic
excellence and diversity in every facet of its work, and in its
mission: to inspire, educate, and support innovative leaders to
advance the common good in a diverse and changing world. The School
is ranked 12th nationally among U.S. based schools of public
affairs, is NASPAA-accredited, and known for its research and
public engagement in local, state, national, and international
policy spheres. The Humphrey School works to enrich the diversity
of the University community and encourages faculty applicants from
a wide range of backgrounds to apply. Our concept of a diverse
community encompasses people with identities that have been
historically marginalized in our society and underrepresented in
higher education and the realm of public affairs, particularly:
scholars from the Global South; Black, Indigenous, and people of
color; new immigrants; people with disabilities; women and people
of all gender identities and expressions; LGBTQ+ individuals; and
first-generation college students. We seek candidates whose
approach to teaching and research is innovative and inclusive in
terms of structurally or historically underrepresented groups. The
Humphrey School also recognizes issues of access and climate for
individuals who might encounter barriers based on their religion,
age, national origin, ethnicity, or veteran status. We are
committed to creating, inviting, and welcoming individuals into an
environment where all people have an opportunity to learn and
contribute. We seek always to include multiple and potentially
divergent perspectives into a common community of inquiry and
learning. This is a joint appointment between the Humphrey School
and the Department of Political Science with the tenure home in the
Humphrey School. One course a year will be taught in Political
Science, and the remainder in the Humphrey School. In addition to
the Humphrey School and Political Science, the University provides
ample opportunities to collaborate and affiliate with scholars and
departments across the University of Minnesota, especially across
the community of human rights-focused scholars.
Qualifications

foreign degree is required in public policy, political science,

to its established Master's and Ph.D. programs, including the
