After UN position, professorship: circles: Baerbock moves to New York's Columbia University
Her term as President of the UN General Assembly in New York will expire in September. However, the Green politician will not return to Germany for the time being.
Annalena Baerbock will join Columbia University in New York as a professor of Global Leadership and co-director of the Master of Public Administration in Global Leadership program in the fall. Her appointment follows her term as President of the UN General Assembly, which ends on September 8 and will be succeeded by Khalilur Rahman of Bangladesh.
Baerbock's new role is a practice-oriented professorship, not a traditional research position, and the program targets leaders with at least 10 years of experience. She was elected to her UN post in June 2025 and is the fifth woman to lead the General Assembly.
