Position Summary:

The University of Alabama is seeking qualified individuals for entry level as well as lateral candidates for tenure-track faculty positions to teach in several subject-matter areas. Rank depends on experience as either Assistant / Associate or Full Professor of Law and is subject to faculty and University approval.

Minimum and Preferred Qualifications:

The University of Alabama School of Law anticipates making several tenure-track faculty appointments to begin in the 2012-2013 academic year. We seek applications from entry level candidates with excellent academic records and demonstrated potential for outstanding teaching and scholarly achievement. The Faculty Appointments Committee also welcomes applications from lateral candidates who possess outstanding academic credentials, including demonstrated teaching ability and a record of distinguished scholarship. We especially are interested in the following academic subject areas: bankruptcy, civil procedure, commercial law (including sales, secured transactions, and payment systems), complex federal litigation, contracts, legal ethics, federal taxation (including basic federal income tax and upper level tax electives, including, but not limited to, corporate and partnership tax, international tax, taxation of nonprofits, tax policy, and the taxation of trusts, estates, and gifts), but the School of Law also will consider outstanding candidates with interest or expertise in other subject-matter areas. Most candidates will have a J.D. degree from an accredited law school. Also, exceptional candidates with an advanced degree, such as a Ph.D., with scholarly interests related to the law and involving interdisciplinary, jurisprudential, empirical, or social science work may be considered even without holding a law degree. The University of Alabama embraces and welcomes diversity in its faculty, student body, and staff; accordingly, the School of Law actively welcomes applications from persons who would add to the diversity of our academic community.

Salary, benefits, and research support will be nationally competitive. The School of Law will treat all nominations and applications as strictly confidential, subject only to the requirements of state and federal law.
