Professor of Law (Assistant, Associate and/or Full) 2023

The Washington and Lee University School of Law warmly invites applications for up to five tenure-track or tenured faculty positions that will begin on July 1, 2024. We are excited to advance our trajectory of outstanding scholarship and teaching with these new hires. A central aspect of the mission of our Law School is to promote a diverse, equitable and collaborative intellectual community. To do so, we continually strive to foster an inclusive campus community, one which recognizes the value of all persons regardless of identity. To further our mission, we are committed to enhancing the diversity of our faculty and student body. In that regard, we welcome candidates from members of communities that are traditionally under-represented in the legal profession and academia.

Our search will focus on applicants whose research and teaching interests include various 1L doctrinal areas, employment law, health law, professional responsibility/legal ethics, civil rights, voting rights, reproductive rights and justice, and business law (including commercial law).

A J.D. from an ABA-accredited law school or equivalent is required.

We particularly encourage applications from lateral candidates (either pre-tenure or tenured) to join our faculty at the Assistant, Associate, or Professor level, but we encourage applications from candidates at all levels of experience. Candidates should have a distinguished record of scholarly achievement or demonstrated potential for high scholarly achievement, effective teaching, active service, and a record of inclusion.

Applicants should submit the following materials through the W&L portal http://apply.interfolio.com/126456 : (1) a cover letter describing their interest in the position; and (2) a current curriculum vitae (including references). Please address these materials to Professor Brandon Hasbrouck of the Faculty Appointments Committee. Additionally, we encourage prospective applicants to contact Prof. Hasbrouck (bhasbrouck@wlu.edu) with any questions.

All inquiries will be treated as confidential.

Review of applications will begin immediately and continue on a rolling basis.

Washington and Lee is an Equal Opportunity Employer. As such, we are interested in candidates who are committed to high standards of scholarship, performance and professionalism and to the development of a campus climate that supports equality and diversity in our faculty, staff and student body. Job description requirements are representative, but not all‐inclusive of the knowledge, skill, and abilities needed to successfully perform this job. Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable qualified individuals with disabilities to perform essential functions.
