The Pardee School of Global Studies at Boston University invites applications for appointment as Professor of the Practice of Global Development with a special focus on issues of sustainable development, global environmental challenges and international development. The successful candidate will be a distinguished practitioner who has worked at high levels in major international organizations, government, and/or non-governmental organizations, demonstrated professional excellence in the field of environment and development, and shares a commitment to the Pardee School’s institutional values regarding diversity, equity, inclusion and social justice.

Expertise in project management, technology for development, human rights, international law, or multilateral negotiation is desirable. Regional expertise in any part of the global South, but particularly in Africa or Latin America, is seen as a strength. The successful candidate will teach courses in their areas of expertise, and will also advise and mentor both undergraduate and graduate students pursuing professional careers in international relations. Prior teaching experience and a record of publication and research is considered a plus.

Boston University is a member of the Association of American Universities, with a rich tradition of inclusion and social justice.
