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.

It came out of her “other” orifice....
Smelling that rotting carcass might be the ultimate insult.
Professor of what?! She wont do any work. Can you imagine her reading over student’s papers? Preparing for lectures? Ha!
Would she really put herself in a situation she can not control? A room of teens with cell phones and no teleprompter.
How many videos will be posted on YouTube (yeah I know they will attempt to restrict use during class time, lots of luck with that.
I can see a bunch of conservatives signing up just to get candid videos.
What could happen, they hire her, pay her but she never shows up.
A perfect “Proffessor” of the arts of political chicanery, corruption, economics of pay for play, destruction of female threats to power, and general malfeasance in personal and political affairs.
“Clinton won the popular vote in the 2016 presidential election but lost the White House to Donald Trump.”
No mention of her getting destroyed in the electoral vote, the one that counts.
I know what she will teach. Ethics!
Maybe she’s gonna pose for a new Alma Mater bronze in front of Lowe Library?
Ruin a perfect spring day on the steps.
I hoping that she’s teaching by video conference.
From her jail cell.
Don’t forget, she’s also a disbarred lawyer.
Imagine the horrible treatment of the student aids working for her.
She will fit right in that school, heck any of our schools now they only teach how to hate America.
How can someone who can’t remember a thing before a Senate committee be expected to remember anything about the law....or anything for that matter?
the only things she is qualified to teach is how to be a liar
Just read this as another no-show job. It’s not like you’d actually want her as a teacher anyway. You’d be better off being thrown a book and told, “Read this. There will be a test at the end of the semester.”
They’re going to have to issue her a golf-cart to get around campus and carry her up and down any stairs. Since it’s Queen Hillary, any building that she teaches in will have an elevator built. Like I said, this is a no-show job, it can’t be anything else.
