The Fulbright Distinguished Scholar is co-hosted by the Raoul Wallenberg Institute of Human Rights and Humanitarian Law (RWI) and the Law Faculty at Lund University (LU). The aim is to promote collaboration between human rights scholars in the United States and Sweden. During the period of appointment, the Fulbright Distinguished Scholar will carry out research on eligible topics and stimulate the academic environment in Lund; design and teach a five-week long optional course on a current topic of human rights law at the master program in international human rights law and consider occasional teaching and training on human rights in other faculties at LU and non-academic institutions in the Lund region; and be willing to act as a mentor for master's students and early-career researchers, and nurture dynamics to facilitate academic outputs and funding applications and collaborate with colleagues at the Faculty of Law and RWI. All topics within the area of international human rights law are considered, in particular human rights issues concerning access to justice, inequalities, business, climate change, health, and security. This may be awarded to Mid-Career Academics, Professionals, or Senior Academics with PhD or other terminal degree. Applicants must have a Law degree (JD) or SJD or PhD in a closely related field. Mid-career scholars in the field of human rights law are especially encouraged to apply. A letter of invitation should not be sought. Two letters of recommendation are also required.
