Hillary Clinton is testing the waters on a return to academia.
The former U.S. Secretary of State and presidential nominee is in talks with Columbia University to take on a formal role at the Ivy League — and potentially house her archives there, multiple sources told the Daily News.
One option under discussion is an esteemed “University Professor” role that would allow Clinton to lecture across a range of schools and departments without the requirement of a strict course load, one source said.
A former law professor, Clinton could maintain the vaunted but vague role indefinitely or decide at a later date she wants to settle at Columbia's celebrated law school or maybe the School of International and Public Affairs, the source said.
“It's all fluid. It could be a number of things. No decisions have been made, but there are talks,” a different source with knowledge of Clinton's thinking told The News.
“She's trying to figure out what she wants to do. It could end up with the papers at one place and she has some sort of faculty role at another. She hasn't quite come to a decision,” the source said.
Clinton won the popular vote in the 2016 presidential election but lost the White House to Donald Trump.
Her third memoir, “What Happened,” was published last month and dissects the brutal defeat in detail.
A book tour for the 469-page tome is expected to last through the end of the year.
It's not clear when Clinton might make a decision related to Columbia, but the source with knowledge of her thinking suggested it would be a matter of months, not years.
“I don't think it will be two years from now. She gave birth to this book last month. She's trying to get through that. But it will be a short time table,” the source said.
A university spokesman declined to comment Thursday.
A top professor also deflected.
“It is premature for me to comment on this,” Kenneth Prewitt, the Carnegie Professor of Public Affairs and Director of the Future of Scholarly Knowledge Project, said in an email to The News.

Scouting young talent for Bill.
Why? She’s old enough to retire with the millions she illegal collected.
“Talk about a nightmare, imagine walking into a class and seeing HRC standing there. I shudder.”
I get nearly catatonic thinking about paying Columbia University rates to walk into that class.
Rutgers gave my MIL a 5 year contract several years back so they could use her name basically (she was a big artist). She only actually went to Rutgers once in the 5 years to be part of a 2 day forum. She got a 6-figure salary plus full benefits (which helped a lot in paying for her cancer treatments, hip replacement, etc.) for the full 5 years. Pretty sweet deal for sure.
This great! The Hildabeast will be the first Ivy League law professor who flunked the DC Bar Exam. Another first for womyn!!!!
::::Someone once said, Those that can do, those that cannot teach.”:::::::
Those that cannot teach, teach gym.
Those that cannot teach gym get a Phd and become administrators.

Hey Hillary, here’s a $1,000.
Go git me a copy of Barry Soetoro’s transcripts and application to Columbia
She’d probably be the best there is teaching folks how to get away with murder.
She can teach “Proinconology” 101. She has made it her life’s pursuit.
Bull$h!t. She couldn’t physically remain upright for her campaign and had goofy seizures. No way could she stand at a lectern.
She can teach a course on Futures Trading with an emphasis on Cattle Futures.
So that's where it came from.
