From an email message that I received recently:
The University of Missouri School of Law invites applications for a two-year Visiting Assistant Professor (VAP) position, which is designed for promising scholars planning to pursue a career in the legal academy. We especially encourage applications from members of communities underrepresented in the legal academy. Our VAP colleague will teach one course per semester in order to develop teaching skills while enjoying the resources and time to develop one or more substantial scholarly works. Experienced members of our faculty will provide mentorship, including extensive feedback on teaching and scholarship. The VAP will attend faculty workshops and colloquia, and will present and practice job talks in a supportive setting. The VAP will be eligible for a summer research grant between first and second years, have access to research assistants, and receive a budget for professional travel. A J.D. is required. Candidates will be evaluated on their academic record.
The University of Missouri-Columbia is the flagship campus of the University of Missouri system and, as both a research and land grant university, we have extraordinary opportunities for interdisciplinary research and teaching. In addition, Columbia is regularly ranked as one of the most livable cities in the country.
Application Procedure: Review of applications will begin immediately and continue until the position is filled. To apply, please submit a cover letter indicating teaching and scholarly interests, a CV, and three references at http://hrs.missouri.edu/find-a-job/academic/. For any questions about the application process, please contact Associate Dean Paul Litton at [email protected].
Additional information about the School of Law is available at www.law.missouri.edu. The University of Missouri is an equal opportunity/ADA institution and encourages applications from women, candidates of color and other underrepresented communities in the legal academy. To request ADA accommodations, please call the Disability Inclusion and ADA Compliance Manager at 573-884- 7278.
