Assistant Professor - Law - (FAC002158)



The University of Houston Law Center (UHLC) invites applications for a tenure-track assistant professor position to begin with the academic year 2022-23.

Applicants for the position must hold a J.D. degree (or the equivalent) and should demonstrate the potential for success as scholars, teachers, and future members of the UH and the Law Center’s broader community.

The primary teaching focus for this position is to cover 1L contracts, although candidates with an interest in teaching 1L criminal law may be considered. Upper level course teaching options are flexible. Willingness to teach elsewhere in the Law Center curriculum, including other 1L courses or courses covered on the Uniform Bar Exam (UBE), is also a positive factor.

And by Fall 2022, the Law Center will occupy a brand-new, world class facility designed by award-winning architects.
