Binghamton University Professor of Genocide and Mass Atrocity Prevention: Open Rank in Binghamton, New York
Location: Binghamton, NY Category: Faculty Posted On: Thu Sep 12 2024 Job Description:
The Institute for Genocide and Mass Atrocity Prevention (I-GMAP) and Binghamton University announce a search for the position of Assistant Professor, Associate Professor, or Professor of Genocide and Mass Atrocity Prevention. Academic rank at appointment will be commensurate with the successful applicant's qualifications.
The Institute seeks a creative, dynamic, and engaged scholar-practitioner with a documented record of success both in academic research and teaching and in engagement with non-academic partners in the global community of atrocity prevention practice, broadly conceived. The Institute is particularly interested in candidates who are prepared to work collaboratively in a trans-disciplinary setting.
I-GMAP is a small, dynamic, trans-disciplinary institute focusing specifically on the prevention of atrocity crimes and all forms of identity-based violence. With a deliberately broad conception of prevention, I-GMAP's educational and research programs encompass areas including risk assessment and early warning; "upstream" or structural interventions designed to identify both risk factors and sources of social resilience; "mid-stream" intervention in imminent or ongoing atrocities, and "downstream" or post-atrocity approaches for mitigating risks of recurrence of atrocity crimes, including transitional justice mechanisms, the formation of public memory and the role of memory sites.
I-GMAP's educational programs include a unique professional Master of Science program, a graduate certificate, and a university-wide undergraduate minor. I-GMAP collaborates with a global network of non-governmental organizations for policy research, convening, and advocacy initiatives.
Job Requirements:
Applicants for the position may hold a PhD in any academic field, and must make a clear case for how their academic background and research program support, and inform, their work in atrocity prevention.
Normal teaching load is 4 courses per academic year.
