Pr. 1. april 2022 er Jingjing Wu ansat som postdoc på Juridisk Instituts center, Centre for Law, Sustainability & Justice, og er blevet tilknyttet instituttets forskningsgruppe International Ret. 

Jing har en ph.d. fra Tilburg Universitet i Holland, og hendes afhandling bærer titlen “The Justifiability of Particular Reasoning in Constructive Dialogue between China and International Human Rights Treaty Bodies”.  

Hendes forskning strækker sig fra folkeret, menneskerettigheder og retsfilosofi (især juridisk argumentation) til international miljøret og transnational miljøledelse. Hun har undervist i både Hong Kong og Holland i folkeret, menneskerettigheder, international miljøret samt bæredygtighed og verdensmål. 

Hun kommer fra en stilling som postdoc på David C Lam Institute for East-West Studies på Hong Kong Baptist University, hvor hun forskede i Parisaftalens juridiske betydning. 

På Juridisk Institut kommer hun til at forske i ”naturens rettigheder” (rights of nature). Et emne, som hun har været optaget af siden 2017, hvor India Uttarakhand High Court besluttede sig for at tildele rettigheder til floderne  Ganges og Yamuna. Jing har også skrevet artikler om emnet forud for sin ansættelse på SDU.

Foruden forskning og undervisning har Jing erhvervserfaring fra startups (som PR- og marketingmedarbejder), advokatfirmaer (som juridisk assistent) samt Det schweiziske handelskammer i Beijing. Hun har også været medlem af the Netherlands School of Human Rights Research, redaktør på the Netherlands School of Human Rights Research Newsletter samt chefredaktør på Tilburg Law Review.
