University of Denver Sturm College of Law and the Need for Lateral Candidates in the Business/Commercial Law Area

By J Robert Brown Jr.

The University of Denver Sturm College of Law anticipates filling several tenure-track and tenured faculty positions to begin in the 2011-2012 academic year.  We are seeking applications from experienced lateral candidates, with a strong preference for those who currently hold a tenure track or tenured position at another institution.  All applicants must hold a JD or equivalent.  Applicants should also have excellent academic records, demonstrated teaching ability and outstanding scholarship.  We have hiring needs in a wide-range of subjects across the curriculum, and are particularly interested in the areas of International/Comparative Law and Business/Commercial Law.  We seek to fill the International Law opening with a highly accomplished and experienced individual, who would be interested in assuming the directorship of the Sturm College of Law's flagship program in International and Comparative Law in the near future.  The International Law opening includes the potential for a chaired position as well.

We also seek experienced applicants for a tenure-track position in our Student Law Office – to work in the asylum/immigration area.  We have a strong preference for applicants who hold a full-time academic position, but they need not be tenure track or tenured. The duties of tenured and tenure-track faculty teaching in our Student Law Office include collaboration with other faculty, direct supervision of second- and third-year students as they represent clients and participate in community projects, curriculum development, and classroom teaching.

We expect review of lateral candidates to be completed before the end of the summer; such candidates are strongly encouraged to submit their materials no later than July 25^th.  For more information and to apply for these positions, please visit the website https://www.dujobs.org/.

Experienced candidates can submit questions and/or a second copy of application materials to Allison Rich, Assistant to Nancy Ehrenreich, Chair, Lateral Appointments Committee, University of Denver Sturm College of Law, 2255 East Evans Avenue, Denver, Colorado, 80208, 303-871-6140 or dulateralappointments@law.du.edu.

The University of Denver strongly dedicated to the pursuit of inclusive excellence and diversity.  See our Diversity Statement at http://www.du.edu/chancellor/diversityStatement.html. DU is an EEO/AA employer.
