Entry-Level Teaching Position: The University of South Dakota School of Law

Entry-Level Teaching Positions

The University of South Dakota School of Law may have one or some combination of tenure-track Assistant Professor positions, or contract lectureship positions.  The positions, if any, will be available the 2016-2017 academic year.  Areas of special interest are insurance, family law, agricultural law, the law of technology, civil procedure and skills courses related to civil procedure.  Other possibilities may perhaps include bar preparation or advanced writing courses. The successful applicant must be a licensed attorney in a United States jurisdiction (a state or the District of Columbia) by the time of the appointment.

Appointments for the tenure-track positions are expected to fulfill the tripartite responsibilities of teaching, scholarship, and service.  Appointments at the Lecturer (or Senior Lecturer) position are expected to carry at least the same teaching load as tenure-track appointments and engage in service activities that typically emphasize student organizations, co-curricular activities, extracurricular activities, and free-standing law school events.

Diversity and inclusiveness are values that are embraced and practiced at the University of South Dakota.  Candidates who support these values are encouraged to apply.  EEO/AA.
