Colorado Law Seeks Entry and Lateral Faculty

This just in:

The University of Colorado Law School invites applications from entry-level and lateral candidates for one or more full-time, tenured or tenure-track faculty positions to begin at the start of the 2023-24 academic year. We welcome applications from candidates in all subject areas and at all levels of seniority. However, we have especially strong needs in Health Law, Business/Commercial Law, American Indian & Indigenous Peoples Law, Immigration Law, and Telecommunications & Internet Law. We also have needs in Negotiation/Alternative Dispute Resolution, Race and the Law (broadly construed), Environmental/Natural Resources Law (with an emphasis on Energy Law), International Law, and Evidence. We are also very interested in candidates who can teach classes in the first-year curriculum, especially Tort Law, Criminal Law, and Constitutional Law.  We seek candidates with great potential for, and/or records of, both innovative scholarship and engaged teaching. Candidates must hold a J.D. from an ABA-accredited law school or equivalent degree in a related field.

We strongly encourage applications from people of color, women, individuals with disabilities, LGBTQ people, veterans, and others whose background, experience, and viewpoints would contribute to the diversity of our faculty. The University of Colorado Boulder is committed to building a culturally diverse community of faculty, staff, and students dedicated to contributing to an inclusive campus environment. We are an Equal Opportunity employer, including veterans and individuals with disabilities.

Application materials will not be accepted via email. For consideration, applications must be submitted through CU Boulder Jobs. For full consideration, candidates should apply by Sept. 1, 2022, although we recommend that you submit your materials as soon as possible.

For questions, please contact Professor Scott Skinner-Thompson, Chair, Faculty Appointments Committee, scott.skinnerthompson@colorado.edu, and/or Victoria Johnson, Faculty Affairs Program Manager, victoria.a.johnson@colorado.edu.

Second year they are advertising this. On a whim, I applied last year as a tenured lateral. I didn't even get a rejection email. Not a good look, CU. Maybe they didn't care for my "equity and diversity" statement they required with the application. 🤔

Protest much? Look at their recent hires. This year they hired someone with a Duke Law degree and someone with degrees from Yale and Oxford. Someone with a Tier2 law degree who is teaching at an unranked school is not competitive given the current pool of candidates, both entry and lateral. I've been there myself; it's not great, but it is the reality. Agree they should have at least sent a letter, though.

"Protest much?" I don't get it.

I have/had zero chance, but my tavern gives out free longnecks for FOAD letters. I want one, damnit.

You two are coming to the attention of the Big Brother who rules this site now.
You have found this little niche in which to post your censorable comments, but it is likely that he can't allow that. Not with the pride of one who rules with "unreviewable discretion."
It won't be long now until your comments are deleted, forbidden and forgotten, even if posted in response to posts by persons other than he who rules this site.
He has made a policy. No comments.
He had declared this, in his "unreviewable" discretion. How dare you defy him?
RSK: you have had your FOAD letter.
