The Brandeis University Legal Studies and Environmental Studies Programs invite applications for the Madeleine Haas Russell Postdoctoral Fellow in Indigenous and Environmental Law. This is a two-year appointment beginning in the Fall 2026 term, subject to budgetary approval. The Fellow will be jointly appointed in the undergraduate Legal Studies and Environmental Studies programs. Responsibilities include teaching two courses per academic year, which could include “Environmental Law and Policy” and “Indigenous Rights, Environmental Justice, and Federal Indian Law,” or closely related offerings. The Fellow will also deliver one academic lecture to the campus community during the appointment period. In addition to salary, the position includes moving expenses, a modest research fund, and mentorship from senior faculty in both programs. The programs seek a scholar whose research examines environmental law and policy in relation to climate change, environmental governance, and their impacts on communities, ecosystems, and legal systems. Particular areas of interest may include domestic or international environmental regulation, Indigenous land and resource governance, migration, human rights, litigation, or the institutional and legal responses to climate-related risks. Scholars employing doctrinal, empirical, historical, comparative, or interdisciplinary approaches are encouraged to apply. Research interests may include, but are not limited to: environmental and climate law; climate-related migration and conflict; environmental governance and adaptation; Indigenous legal responses to environmental change; environmental litigation and enforcement; or social, economic, and institutional impacts of climate risk. The programs welcome a range of methodological approaches, including quantitative, qualitative, or mixed methods. Candidates must hold a JD or PhD in a relevant discipline in the social sciences or law by the start of the appointment. For more information and to apply see Academic Jobs Online.
