Behavioral Law & Economics Fellow

The University of Chicago Law School invites applications for a Fellowship in Behavioral Law & Economics, with an appointment at the rank of Instructor, for a one-year term to begin July 1, 2023, with the possibility for renewal for a second term. Candidates must demonstrate the promise of distinguished legal scholarship and law teaching, have expertise and research interests related to behavioral law and economics, and have the ability to develop and teach a graduate level seminar in that subject. The University of Chicago Law School conceives of behavioral law & economics very broadly, and all plausible applicants are encouraged to apply. The successful applicant will teach one one-quarter course during the term and is expected to publish original scholarship and contribute to the intellectual life of the Law School. A J.D. or equivalent is required.

Candidates must apply online at The University of Chicago Academic Career Opportunities website: https://apply.interfolio.com/113077 and upload a cover letter, current curriculum vitae, law school transcript, writing sample and reference contact information. Applications will be considered until the position is filled, or until June 30, 2023, whichever comes first.  Please contact Jonathan Masur (jmasur@uchicago.edu) with any questions.

We seek a diverse pool of applicants who wish to join an academic community that places the highest value on rigorous inquiry and encourages diverse perspectives, experiences, groups of individuals, and ideas to inform and stimulate intellectual challenge, engagement, and exchange. The University’s Statements on Diversity are at https://provost.uchicago.edu/statements-diversity.
