DRAKE UNIVERSITY LAW
SCHOOL invites applications for a tenured/tenure-track position as Assistant/Associate/Professor
of Law in the field of Agricultural Law and Director of
the Drake Agricultural Law Center beginning in the
fall of 2019. Applicants must hold a J.D. degree (or the equivalent) and should
have outstanding records of accomplishment in scholarship, teaching, and
service as well as substantial practice experience.
The successful candidate will teach agricultural
law courses and serve as the Director of the Drake Agricultural Law Center. Drake
was the first American law school to offer a J.D. specialization in agricultural
law, offering courses not only on agricultural and food law but also on
agriculture’s effect on social, economic, and political systems.
The student-published Drake Journal of Agricultural Law
has been a leading legal journal focused solely on these issues for more than
20 years.
Founded in 1983, the Agricultural Law
Center provides opportunities for students to explore how the legal system
impacts the global food system and the agricultural sector's ability to
produce, market, and use agricultural products. Drake’s
location in central Iowa places it at the heart of a state that leads in
production of soybeans, corn, eggs, and pork.
Drake University is an
equal opportunity employer and actively seeks applicants who reflect the
nation’s diversity. No applicant shall be discriminated against on the
basis of race, color, national origin, creed, religion, age, disability, sex,
gender identity, sexual orientation, genetic information or veteran status.
Confidential review of
applications will begin in August 2018. Applications (including a letter of
interest, a complete CV, teaching evaluations (if available) and the names and
addresses of at least three references) should be sent to Professor Ellen Yee,
Chair, Faculty Appointments Committee, Drake University Law School, 2507
