Willamette University College of Law seeks applicants for up to two full-time, tenure-track faculty positions beginning in the fall of 2019.  While the focus of our search is for entry-level candidates, we also welcome applications from early-career lateral candidates.  Our curricular interests include Business Associations, Commercial Law, and Health Law, as well as Trust & Estates, Property, Family Law, Tax, Torts, and Criminal Law.  Applicants must possess strong academic credentials and a proven ability to produce thoughtful scholarship, as well as the skills necessary to communicate their expertise to colleagues and their students.  The Faculty Appointments Committee will begin reviewing applications in the late summer and will continue to do so until the positions are filled.

Willamette University is committed to the academic excellence and rich and rewarding communities that a diverse faculty, staff and student body brings.  We welcome candidates whose work furthers equity and diversity and who bring to campus a commitment to sharing varied experiences, perspectives and backgrounds.  Applicants demonstrating these qualifications are particularly encouraged to apply.

Contact:  Please use the AALS submission process to apply; questions can be addressed to Jeff Dobbins, Chair, Faculty Appointments Committee, Willamette University College of Law, 245 Winter Street, Salem, OR 97301, or jdobbins@willamette.edu
