Position Overview | The University of Idaho’s College of Law is recruiting a full-time postdoctoral scholar. The initial appointment is one year with the possibility of extension. The position will support interdisciplinary research in Native American law with an emphasis on stakeholder engagement, community-based observing, and place-based approaches. Projects will include working directly with regional tribal communities to develop research that supports tribal self-determination goals, providing College of Law students experiential learning opportunities, and significantly contributing to the scholarship in the Fellow’s fields. Candidates with research interests that overlap with the College’s other Native American Law research and teaching priorities (economic development, natural resources, water law, treaty rights, climate change, family law, violence against women, etc.) are particularly encouraged to apply. The successful candidate will be part of the UI Native American Law (“NAL”) Program and will help to develop program goals and support program students. The candidate will directly coordinate with the NAL Program Director to lead and/or co-lead NAL Program projects and to advance NAL Program strategic goals. This will entail working with, co-leading, and leading, college and university interdisciplinary teams to develop funding opportunities and enhance the co-production of knowledge in tribal self-determination. |
