During my ongoing  tour for my new book, United States Law and Policy on Transitional Justice: Principles, Politics, and Pragmatics (Oxford University Press, 2016), I have often received questions about job opportunities in the field of transitional justice. There are numerous nongovernmental organizations (including local, national, and international civil society initiatives), intergovernmental organizations, governmental organizations, and academic institutions involved in this field.

In this blog post I list (in alphabetical order) just a few such organizations. Interested individuals should consult the hyperlinked websites to search for job vacancies.

This list is a work in progress. You are invited to contact me if you would like to suggest additional organizations / opportunities for this list.
