Creighton University School of Law plans to hire tenure-track faculty members. The Law School is particularly interested establishing a Health Law Program, the director of which can be either tenure eligible or contractual. Candidates should outline what a robust health law program which complements the university’s already significant presence in the allied health sciences field would look like.
Additionally, entry-level and lateral candidates with teaching and research interests in the field of Criminal Law and Procedure, Evidence, Constitutional Law, Human Rights, Private International Law, ADR, and Environmental Law are encouraged to apply.
Founded in 1904, the Law School at Creighton University is a dynamic community of scholars, students, and staff who share a common mission to collectively improve our society. As a key component of one of the nation’s oldest Catholic, Jesuit universities, the Law School promotes the ideal of social justice in all its forms. Student formation occurs in a collaborative environment stressing the intellectual and ethical development of new attorneys while emphasizing a holistic duty of care that should be extended to every client. The Law School offers multiple study abroad and joint degree programs, including its JD/Master’s in Government Organization and Leadership (GOAL) which places students in externships at federal agencies in Washington D.C.
Situated at the center of Creighton University’s vibrant urban campus near the downtown financial corridor, CHI sports arena, and the Old Market, the Law School is home to the Omaha Bar Association, the Werner Institute for Dispute Resolution, and several offices of the Nebraska State Bar Association. With nine schools and colleges across a broad array of disciplines, a student body of approximately 9,000, and a nearly $750 million endowment, Creighton University is an R-2 Carnegie-classified institution and a member of the Big East Conference.
