Dear colleagues,

I hope winter is treating you well so far. I am writing to share a job opportunity from the Pozen Family Center for Human Rights, Director of Human Rights Practice position, that could be of interest to you and/or your associates. I would also mention that the deadline to apply for the Gordon F. Henderson Post-doctoral Fellow (2018-2019) hosted by our Centre is March 15^th. Please share these announcements widely.

On another note, John Packer and I are planning to attend the conference RightsCon in Toronto (May 16-18) and we were wondering if this could be an opportunity to hold a group meeting if some of you are planning to go? Happy to discuss with those interested.

Best wishes,

Viviana

· organizing and overseeing short term practitioner residencies related to the work of the Laboratory;

· establishing new linkages between the Pozen Center and civil society and government-supported human rights entities globally, nationally and locally;

· ensuring the Laboratory-based project has impact in its field beyond the university; and assisting in the operation of the Pozen Center’s current human rights internship program.
