Faculty Positions

Over the next few years, the Faculty of Law anticipates having several tenure stream positions to replace retiring faculty. We currently invite applications for one tenure stream appointment and one full-year term appointment, anticipated to be at the Assistant Professor level. The starting date for the tenure stream appointment will be January 1, 2013, or earlier if the preferred candidate is available. The full-year term position will commence July 1, 2012. Both positions are subject to budgetary approval.

JOB QUALIFICATIONS: The Faculty welcomes applications from outstanding scholars with diverse perspectives and will consider an appointment in any field of expertise, though our current priorities are particularly in the areas of administrative law (with knowledge of complementary public law fields) and corporate/commercial law (with knowledge of complementary private law fields). Candidates will have a strong academic record and will have or will be completing a graduate degree(s) in law or a related discipline. They will have a record of or potential for excellence in teaching and research.
