As many of you know, I have had the honor and privilege of being the Interim Director of the Institute for Professional Leadership (IPL) at The University of Tennessee College of Law for the past three academic years.  The IPL is a special part of UT Law.  As the home of an academic program that ties various parts of the traditional law curriculum together, the IPL benefits students with a wide variety of post-graduation goals–helping them to prepare themselves for the inevitable leadership spaces they will occupy in their professional and personal lives.

I have served as Interim Director at the IPL while continuing with a full teaching schedule, scholarship agenda, and service load.  It now is time for me to step back and allow someone else to lead the IPL–someone who will devote full time to carrying out its mission.  Accordingly, we are looking for a permanent Director for the IPL.  The position announcement can be found here.  

As you can see from the position announcement, the permanent Director will be a member of the law faculty, either tenure-track or non-tenure-track.  The qualifications section of the announcement is copied in below, for your ease of reference.
