Position Overview
The University of Kansas School of Law invites applications for both entry-level associate professor and lateral tenure-track/tenured professor candidates for three positions to begin in the Fall of 2025: (1) Criminal Law; (2) Health Law; and (3) Comparative Law/International Law/International Business Law. Secondary areas of curricular interest include Immigration Law, Jurisprudence, Conflict of Laws, and Torts. We invite a plurality of scholarly agendas, methodologies, and perspectives, ranging from traditional doctrinal to empirical to critical-analytical to interdisciplinary scholarship. In addition, we are especially interested in candidates who will regularly teach in the first-year curriculum or an equivalent large-enrollment upper-division course.
KU Law ranks among the top 50 law schools in the nation and lands at #22 among public law schools according to recent U.S. News & World Report Rankings. Law faculty are active scholars, researchers, and subject matter experts in their fields. KU ranks #16 among public law schools for scholarly impact. Many professors are authors of textbooks and casebooks used in classes at KU and in law schools across the U.S. and overseas.
KU’s excellence is a result of the rich tapestry of experiences, perspectives, and backgrounds of our faculty, staff, students, and colleagues from across our nation and the globe. At KU, we invest in continuous learning and growth by creating a climate where people engage in respectful dialogue and debate and support each other’s success. We foster a culture of care where each person is seen, heard, and valued. When people feel a true sense of belonging, we believe they are better able to reach their full potential and achieve remarkable things. The successful candidate must be eligible to work in the U.S. by the effective date of the appointment.
