Scholars at Risk Europe (SAR Europe), hosted by the Maynooth University Social Sciences Institute (MUSSI), Maynooth University, Ireland, is the European office of the global Scholars at Risk network (SAR). SAR is an international network of over 500 higher education institutions in 40 countries, whose mission is to protect scholars and promote academic freedom.

This is a new position, supported by external grant funds. It is SAR Europe's intention to seek further funding to increase our advocacy activities in Europe beyond the initial 12-month project. The role will be based at Maynooth University, Ireland. The advocacy manager will play an integral role as part of a small team of SAR Europe staff hosted at Maynooth University and will liaise closely with the global offices of the SAR network, based in the United States.
