Requirements

Tradition. Innovation. A superb faculty. Hundreds of course offerings — and all of this just steps away from the Capitol and Supreme Court. Georgetown Law (http://www.law.georgetown.edu/) is an exceptional institution in an enviable location. Students come here from all over the world to study international or tax law, environmental or health care law (just a few of our specialties). They come here for our top-ranked clinics. Most of all, they come because this is the place where theory and practice meet. At Georgetown, students learn the law in the place where laws are made.

The Global Health Law LLM Assistant Director will provide leadership, daily operational responsibility and control for the Law Center’s graduate programs in global health law.

• Strategic planning to increase the reach and impact of the academic and capacity building programs and ensure continuous innovation in terms of substance and delivery.

• Outreach and collaboration with US and international partners including academic institutions, international organizations, governments, civil society, private sector organizations, and our alumni network.
