Job Posting: Charles University

Univerzita Karlova, the large and historic university in Prague, is seeking its next University Ombuds. The search will fill a position held by the inaugural Ombuds, Kateřina Šámalová, who is completing a three-year term (and who has been a leader in promoting the role of Ombuds in Eastern Europe). The half-time position serves students, employees, and others connected to the university, and coordinates the work of nearly two dozen Ombuds embedded with faculties and other campus units. The appointment is expected to begin in October 2026 following consultation with the faculty's Academic Senate. 

Applicants must hold a university degree and have experience in counseling, mediation, teaching, or human rights work. Candidates may not be members of the Charles University Faculty of Law unless they agree to relinquish that status upon appointment. Applicants must submit a letter of interest, CV, proposed concept for the Ombuds office, and a statement addressing relevant goals in the faculty's 2026-2030 strategic plan. Applications are due by August 14, 2026. (LinkedIn.)
