Graduate Lectureship

The Pozen Center awards up to three lectureships per academic year to advanced UChicago doctoral students to teach an undergraduate Human Rights course of their own design. The proposed course should address human rights from a disciplinary, thematic, or regional perspective.
 
Graduate lecturers generally receive an award of $5,000. This amount may change depending on your Division. Lecturers can hold office hours and use office space at the Pozen Center.

• Applicants must be UChicago PhD students.
• Doctoral students under the new funding model must check with their department to ensure they are eligible to apply. By university policy, doctoral students currently in years 7 – 12 can no longer hold lectureships and are not eligible for this opportunity.

• Applications are now closed. The next round of applications will begin in the Winter Quarter of 2025.
• Submit your applications online.
• Applications must include the webform, CV, course outline or syllabus (including title, description, student learning goals, assignments, and reading list), and one letter of recommendation. Incomplete applications are not considered. 
• Recommendation Letters: Each applicant is required to obtain a recommendation letter from a faculty member who is familiar with your scholarly work or your experience as a teaching assistant or instructor. Submit your recommendation online.
• See the Course Design Tools provided by the Center for Teaching and Learning for help with course construction and developing student learning goals.
