Job description
Berkeley Law is one of the nation’s great centers for legal education, ever exploring and pushing new intellectual boundaries while tackling urgent, real-world issues. The law school is also known for its vibrant and engaged community of students and scholars who are committed to providing leadership and making a difference on problems of local, national and global import. Currently ranked among the top law schools in the country, the School of Law has ambitious development goals as it looks to continue producing leaders in law, government, and society.
Berkeley Law invites applications from untenured candidates for a full-time, tenure-track faculty position. This position will advance the work of the Civil Rights Endowment, which was established to honor the life and legacy of Judge Thelton Henderson, whose career was dedicated to public service and the advancement of equal justice under the law. We welcome applications from scholars whose research focuses on Civil Rights, including but not limited to the study of identity and discrimination on the basis of race, gender, sexuality, religion, and disability, in domains that include voting rights, policing and prisons, and freedom of speech and expression.
Berkeley Law strives to educate responsible, effective, and forward-thinking advocates who serve the public through legal practice, public policy, academic scholarship, and related fields. In doing so, the school addresses some of society’s most pressing challenges by leveraging its strengths in teaching and research to improve law, policy, and public institutions. At the heart of Berkeley Law’s public mission is a commitment to access, affordability, and empowering students from all backgrounds to pursue impactful careers across a wide range of professional paths.
Berkeley Law is committed to addressing the family needs of faculty, including dual career couples and single parents. We are also interested in candidates who have had non-traditional career paths or who have taken time off for family reasons, or who have achieved excellence in careers outside academia. For information about potential relocation to Berkeley, or career needs of accompanying partners and spouses, please visit: New Senate Faculty | Office for Faculty Equity & Welfare.
Candidates must either: a) hold a J.D. or equivalent international degree by date of application, or b) hold a Ph.D. or equivalent international degree.
