The College of Law at the University of Oklahoma seeks to fill 

  • three tenured faculty positions and 
  • two tenure track positions beginning in the 2027-2028 academic year.

The primary subject matter areas for these hires are Constitutional Law, Criminal Law, Professional Responsibility, Federal Indian Law, and Torts.  The college also has curricular needs in Remedies, Property, Evidence, Wills and Trusts, Commercial Law, and related areas.  We anticipate hiring across these areas based on candidate quality, curricular need, and alignment with available funding opportunities.

As part of this hiring cycle, the College may make one or more endowed-chair appointments, depending on the candidate pool and fit.  These opportunities include the Calvert Chair, for a scholar whose work focuses on law and liberty, and the Chickasaw Chair in Native American Law, for a scholar with expertise in Federal Indian Law, Tribal Law, Native American Law, or related fields.  Candidates whose scholarly and teaching interests align with either endowed opportunity are encouraged to identify that alignment in their application materials.

Please see the hiring ads below for more details on the openings. 

Inquiries (but not application materials) may be sent directly to the chair of the Faculty Appointments Committee, Jon Lee:  jon.lee@ou.edu
