The Drexel University Kline School of Law invites applications for two full-time assistant teaching professor or visiting assistant professor positions in our JD program, plus one full-time teaching professor in our unique BA in Law program, all to begin in the summer or fall of 2024. We seek candidates who hold a JD and/or a PhD (or appropriate equivalent) and have a demonstrated commitment to excellent teaching. The JD program has needs in the areas of legal methods (research, writing, and analysis), tax law, evidence, and criminal procedure, among other areas. The BA program seeks candidates with a focus on the intersection of law and the social sciences. The law school is open to candidates with an interest in teaching across the JD and BA programs.
These are non-tenure-track positions, and the initial appointment is for two years, with the possibility of renewal upon mutual agreement. Applications are particularly encouraged from people of color, individuals with disabilities, people of all sexual and gender identities, and anyone whose background, experience or viewpoint will contribute to the diversity of the faculty. Salaries are commensurate with experience.

Law school faculty are highly visible in the national press, cited for their insights on reproductive freedom, privacy, free speech and association, health law and policy, social security and pension law, immigration law, and the Supreme Court, among other things.
Drexel University, a Carnegie R1 private research university with over 22,000 students, is located in Philadelphia’s vibrant, technology-focused University City neighborhood. The university, with 14 colleges including a medical school, is ranked #56 nationally by the Wall Street Journal.
