Lecturer/Legal Skills Professor

UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA LEVIN COLLEGE OF LAW seeks to hire at least one professor to teach in its legal writing and legal skills program.  The University of Florida, located in Gainesville, FL, is among the nation’s leading public research institutions and the flagship university of the third largest state.  The Levin College of Law seeks highly qualified candidates for this position.

The Non-Tenure Track Appointments Committee welcomes applications from entry-level and experienced candidates who will contribute to the College’s dynamic legal writing and skills program.  The successful candidate will have a commitment to excellence in teaching, a rich reservoir of practical experience, and enthusiasm for creating a welcoming environment.  Candidates must also have a JD or equivalent academic degree.

We welcome applicants interested in teaching in any part of the legal writing curriculum, especially in our first-year courses and pre-trial practice.  Legal writing faculty are valued members of the Florida Law community; they have near-complete voting rights and serve on law school committees and in leadership positions.  Legal writing faculty are not required to engage in scholarship, but those who do receive summer support.  All legal writing faculty have professional development accounts.

To apply for a position or to request further information, applicants should contact the Appointments Committee’s chair Professor Bill Hamilton at hamiltonw@law.ufl.edu. Application materials should include a cover letter, a resume with at least three references, a list of publications, and up to three pieces of scholarly work.  Materials should also be uploaded at http://jobs.ufl.edu/.
