Hiring Announcement: Commercial Law at Campbell University School of Law
CAMPBELL UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF LAW invites applications for a full-time, tenure-track faculty position in the area of commercial law to commence in the Fall Semester 2015. The successful applicant for this position will be expected to teach either or both of our required upper-level UCC courses (Sales and Leases, and Secured Transactions) each semester. Candidates who can, in addition to these courses, teach Payment Systems, Bankruptcy, Consumer Law, or Financial Regulation are especially encouraged to apply. Candidates should have excellent academic credentials and a proven record of (or demonstrated potential for) outstanding classroom teaching and scholarship. Both lateral and entry level candidates will be considered.
The law school is located in downtown Raleigh, North Carolina, a location that provides its approximately 450 students with a wealth of opportunities that enrich their educational experience. Raleigh and the Research Triangle are repeatedly cited in national surveys as one of the best areas for starting a new career or business, for excellence in education (from public schools to post-graduate studies), and for enjoyable quality of life.
Consistent with Campbell University’s overall mission (available at http://www.campbell.edu/mission/), the law school is a highly demanding, purposely small, intensely personal community of faculty and students whose aim, guided by transcendent values, is to develop lawyers who possess moral conviction, social compassion and professional competence, who view the practice of law as a calling to serve others, and to create a more just society. To that end, the law school has adopted the following distinctives: (1) we offer an academic program that is highly demanding; (2) we bring together the theoretical and practical to produce thoughtful and talented lawyers; (3) we utilize the talents of a faculty that is profoundly committed to students and teaching; (4) we view the practice of law as a calling to serve others; and (5) we offer a Christian perspective on law and justice. More information about the law school can be found on our website: http://www.law.campbell.edu/.
Interested candidates should apply online here. Applications should include: (1) a cover letter expressing interest in and qualifications for fulfilling the position, contributing to the University’s mission, and furthering the law school’s distinctives; (2) an unofficial law school transcript; (3) a current curriculum vitae; (4) if available, course evaluations for any prior teaching engagements; and (5) a representative example of scholarship and/or a research agenda.
