Syracuse University College of Law invites applications from entry-level candidates for two tenure-track positions on the law faculty

Syracuse University College of Law invites applications from entry-level candidates for two tenure-track positions with an expected start date of August 2027. We welcome applications from candidates across all areas of law but have particular interest in scholars teaching and writing in civil procedure, alternative dispute resolution, and contracts. Additional areas of interest include environmental law, torts, emerging technologies, and/or evidence. Candidates are expected to teach courses in both the residential law program and in our online JD interactive program and can expect to teach a first-year course or a core upper-division course, along with other courses as needed.

We are seeking individuals who are or have the potential to become outstanding scholars and excellent teachers. Candidates should have a distinguished academic record, including a JD from an accredited law school. Preferred post-JD experience and credentials include advanced degrees, judicial clerkships, relevant legal practice, or similar experience. Candidates must have the skills to effectively interact with groups of students, colleagues, and community members from different backgrounds.

The salary range for an Associate Professor, depending on experience, is $125,000 to $145,000 with benefits. Interested candidates should submit a cover letter, CV, scholarly writing sample, research agenda, and the names of three references who can assess the candidate’s potential as a legal academic using Syracuse University’s online application system. For questions, please contact Craig Boise, Dean Emeritus, Professor of Law, and Faculty Appointments Committee Chair at [email protected]. Syracuse University is committed to creating an environment that is welcoming to all. Priority consideration will be given to applications received on or before August 21, 2026.
