Job Details

The Josef Korbel School of International Studies at the University of Denver is an interdisciplinary professional school of international studies that prepares students for careers in the public, private and non-profit sectors. Our program provides students with the knowledge, skills, and networks to design policies, implement programs, and realize outcomes that enhance human capabilities around the world.

Position Summary
The Sié Chou-Kang Center for International Security and Diplomacy at the University of Denver's Josef Korbel School of International Studies and Oxfam America are seeking qualified candidates for an innovative post-doctoral scholar program. The goal of this position is to contribute to the mission of both organizations through collaborative research on policy-relevant questions related to women's leadership and feminist U.S. foreign policy. This position will serve as a bridge between Oxfam and the Sié Center and develop a collaborative project.

We will accept applications from candidates who specialize in gender-related leadership and U.S. foreign policy. We are particularly interested in applicants who have examined how to implement a feminist and intersectional foreign policy and/or the potential for establishing a Department of Women's Equality in the U.S.

The Fellowship will begin September 1, 2021. The fellowship will extend for a one-year term, with the individuals time spent at both Oxfam America (in Boston and/or Washington, DC) and the Sié Center at the University of Denver.

The Sié Center is a center of excellence within the Josef Korbel School that leads research, education, and policy programs focused on global security, prosperity, and social justice. Ten faculty, visiting and post-doctoral scholars, and over 30 Korbel M.A. and PhD students contribute to the center's activities. While at the Sié Center, post-doctoral fellows have opportunities to work with center faculty and graduate students, engage with relevant policy practitioners, and receive administrative and research/travel support sufficient to allow the completion of a major research product. Fellows will be expected to attend and contribute to a seminar series and engage with other program initiatives including conferences, commentary, and publications.

Oxfam America is part of an international confederation of 20 organizations networked together in more than 90 countries, as part of a global movement for change, to build a future free from the injustice of poverty.
