The Drexel University Earle Mack School of Law actively reviews applications for full-time faculty. Our full-time faculty recruitment process will begin in August 2008 and will likely draw to a close in the early spring of 2009. In order to assess your own strength as a candidate, we encourage potential applicants to review the biographies of our existing full time faculty. A successful candidate will typically present a record of exceptional academic achievement in undergraduate and graduate studies, a distinctive practice record, which may also include judicial clerkships and academic fellowships, and a demonstrated commitment to, or record of, excellent scholarly publications. We are particularly interested in candidates who bring unique educational, methodological, or practice backgrounds that add vitality to their research. Because we regard teaching as an essential component of a faculty member’s job, a successful candidate must be, or be capable of becoming, an excellent classroom teacher. In addition, the successful candidate must share our continuing commitment to creating a distinctive new legal community. Faculty are expected to be enthusiastic participants in a cooperative effort to create an excellent law school. As a new law school, faculty must be willing to invest energy into developing programs, mentoring students and advising student organizations, and growing a vibrant intellectual community. We seek faculty members who look forward to participating in the daily life of Drexel Law and Drexel University.

The School of Law also reviews applications for adjunct faculty who teach individual courses. Our needs vary from year to year and we hire adjunct faculty on a rolling basis. Successful candidates will typically bring a strong academic background and deep practice experience in their fields.

Applications are particularly encouraged from people of color, people with all sexual and gender identities, individuals with disabilities, and anyone whose background, experience, or viewpoint will contribute to the diversity of the faculty.

To apply, please send a cover letter and curriculum vitae (with references) to Professor Daniel M. Filler, Chair of the Appointments Committee. We prefer that applications be submitted via email to: LawFac@drexel.edu. Please explicitly note whether you seek a full-time or adjunct opportunity.

Drexel University is an equal opportunity employer.
