Applications are invited for a post in the Human Rights Law Centre, School of Law based at the University Park campus.
The successful candidate will join a small team involved in an international research and capacity building project that will develop national participation in the Rome System of Justice, by empowering national criminal justice actors and supporting them to overcome legal constraints in realising their obligations under the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court. It will do so by delivering technology-driven tools to national criminal justice actors around the world, including post-conflict and transitioning countries, with the ultimate goal of ensuring their full participation in the global efforts to reduce impunity for core international crimes.
The project is funded through the European Instrument for Democracy and Human Rights (EIDHR) and is led by the Case Matrix Network (http://www.casematrixnetwork.org).
Candidates must have a postgraduate degree, or equivalent, in law, involving international criminal law. A PhD (or equivalent) in a relevant area is desirable. They should have a clear interest and demonstrable expertise in international criminal justice, particularly with regard to the national implementation of the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court. Excellent research and analytical skills are essential. Competence with IT tools is essential and an interest in professional skills training is valued. Fluency in English and French is essential.
Salary: £24766 to £30424 per annum, depending on skills and experience (minimum £27,854 with relevant PhD).
Interviews will be held on Monday 17 February 2014.
