ODID is delighted to announce the creation of the Andrew W Mellon University Lecturership in International Refugee and Human Rights Law.

The new post is supported by a generous gift from the Andrew W Mellon Foundation, as well as by a number of other donations.

The post will strengthen the team of distinguished academics at the Refugee Studies Centre and will contribute to the MSc in Refugee and Forced Migration Studies. The appointee will be a Governing Body fellow of St Antony's College, and will also play a key role in doctoral supervision in the Faculty of Law.

The post will be advertised in October 2012 and it is hoped that the appointee will take up position in Michaelmas Term 2013.
