Description
The Georgetown Institute for Women, Peace and Security (GIWPS) is looking for a dynamic and enthusiastic Research Professor of the Practice to support the Hillary Rodham Clinton (HRC) Oral History Project. The Project's goal is to create an archive of spoken recollections and reflections that illuminate Secretary Clinton's public life and serve as the first history of her tenure as Secretary of State, including the diplomatic, political, and humanitarian world in which she engaged.

The Research Professor of the Practice will work closely with the HRC Oral History team to develop and execute the project. Responsibilities will include overall project management, coordination with key stakeholders, planning and conducting interviews, including the preparation of authoritative briefing books, supervision of junior team members and graduate research assistants, and other duties as assigned.

The ideal candidate will have research training that is applicable to oral histories, broad substantive expertise on U.S. foreign policy, and familiarity with the Hillary Doctrine and other efforts to integrate women into U.S. foreign policy, particularly during Secretary Clinton's tenure. Significant project management and archival research experience are essential.

GIWPS is a fast-paced research institution. The Research Professor of the Practice must be organized, manage time efficiently, meet multiple deadlines, and produce work on a tight turnaround. The ideal candidate will be a self-starter who can work well independently and as part of a small team.
