(Start date July 1, 2012)

The Center for Human Rights and Global Justice (CHRGJ) at NYU School of Law is seeking qualified candidates for the position of Program Officer. The Program Officer will play a key role in: developing new avenues for donor support; strategically elevating the visibility and reach of the Center’s scholarship; and conducting outreach to the human rights community, both at the law school and beyond. The Program Officer will work closely with the Center’s Faculty Directors, Executive Director, and Research Director. The annual salary for this position is $70,000, and it comes with a generous vacation and benefits package. The position will be active as of July 1, 2012.

Key Responsibilities:

• Develop new strategies for fundraising and donor relations to enhance the Center’s capacity to host conferences, produce publications, and convene high level meetings between different stakeholders in the human rights community.
• Coordinate with University departments, faculty, and student groups whose goals are similar to the Center’s, in order to foster stronger connections and collaborations among relevant programs, groups, and actors.
• Work to raise the Center’s visibility and capacity for outreach by developing new media, enhancing its website presentation and content, and engaging a wide range of social media tools.
• Work closely with the Research Director to conceptualize new platforms and forums for enhancing the visibility of the Center, both in the NYU law community and in the broader human rights community through engaging with new social media tools, strategic outreach, conference attendance, collaboration with other organizations, development of specialized events, engagement with the media and other avenues for outreach to academic and non-academic organizations locally, nationally, and internationally.

• Help develop an annual, high-profile conference centered on the annual, overarching theme guiding the Center’s work (in 2012, “Fact-finding and Evidence in Human Rights”).
• Manage the development of other specialized symposiums, meetings, and conferences, through all stages, from inception to execution, including through developing themes, speakers, and panels for major conferences; strategic planning, outreach, logistical planning, budget management, and other tasks related to convening and planning major conferences and meetings. The Program Officer will work closely with other members of the Center’s administrative staff on logistics and planning, as well as with the Center’s Research Director on developing publications that emerge from these conferences and meetings.
• Conduct outreach and planning to build the Center’s new Global Fellows program, a competitive international fellowship program that will bring three fellows to the Center annually to partake in the Center’s mission to produce cutting-edge scholarship. This will involve developing strong international partnerships and exchanges with other academic

institutions; managing the selection process; and assisting in meeting the logistical needs of the fellowship program by interfacing with relevant departments at NYU.

Qualifications

• JD or Master’s Degree in a relevant field.
• Demonstrated administrative and organizational expertise, including but not limited to: donor relations, academic planning, budget management, and public outreach.
• A preparedness for successful fundraising.
• Solid working knowledge of the international human rights system and insight into current issues in human rights discourse and practice.

• Comfort working with multi-media platforms to engage in online social networking, website content, and other forms of relevant information sharing and profile-raising activities.
• A proven dedication to human rights issues, as evidenced through previous education and employment, activism, or scholarship.

Skills and Abilities

• Ability to think creatively and take leadership in expanding and advancing programming that produces cutting-edge scholarship and creates new relationships for the Center at every level of its engagement with the human rights community.
• Ability to work with, develop new relationships with, and convene a wide variety of actors both inside and outside of academia, including international human rights experts, law students, alumni, faculty, administrators, donors, and legal practitioners.
• Ability to work under pressure, balance competing priorities, work as a team with colleagues and partners, as well as take the lead on projects and initiatives
