The CIDS is a joint Academic Center of the Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies and the University of Geneva.

The Geneva LL.M. in International Dispute Settlement (MIDS) is a leading program with a distinguished faculty and a talented class aiming at building a successful career as well-rounded lawyers in all four corners of international dispute settlement.

- Demonstrated interest, academic capabilities and/or practical experience in international dispute settlement
- Strong command of the English language, sufficient to teach, interact with students, mark student papers, and write research papers.
- Good knowledge of French would be an asset.
Responsibilities
- 50% teaching, mostly in the LLM, including class time (approx. 130h/year), significant pastoral care (such as marking and giving feedback on formative essays, second-supervising master theses, accompanying students on study trips, office hours and general availability for student queries), and teaching support to professors.
- 20% administration and citizenship, including providing logistical support for classes and events.
- 30% research on assigned projects, including the organisation of Doctoral Seminars.
