From an email message that I received earlier today:
Texas Tech University School of Law seeks applications from
exceptional individuals to fill two tenured or tenure-track positions for the
2013–2014 or 2014–2015 academic years.
For the first position (requisition
number 88012), we are seeking a professor who, if a tenured candidate, also
will serve as Director for the Law School’s Center for Water Law and Policy and
George W. McCleskey Professor of Water Law (a tenure-track candidate would be
able to serve as Acting Director). The
Center's mission is to contribute to the understanding, development, teaching,
and study of water law and policy. The
Center is part of the Texas Tech University’s interdisciplinary water
initiative, which involves faculty and students representing the disciplines of
law, public policy, economics, agriculture, geosciences, engineering,
biological sciences, and health sciences.
In addition to serving as the Center’s Director, responsibilities would include
teaching Water Rights and related courses.
The curricular needs for the second position (requisition number 88013) are flexible,
although our greatest needs are in the areas of Texas Procedure, Professional Responsibility,
skills courses, and immigration law.
Applicants for both positions must possess a J.D. degree or
an advanced degree in a relevant field and have relevant experience such as
teaching, legal practice, or judicial clerkship. Entry-level candidates must show scholarly
promise, as evidenced by publications in scholarly journals, scholarly works in
progress or a scholarly agenda. For any lateral
applicant with tenure, a distinguished record of teaching and scholarship is
required. Once hired, faculty members are evaluated and advancement is determined
by contributions in teaching, research, and service.
