As
Earle Mack School of Law prepares for its third year
of operation, the college plans to expand its faculty.
Our needs include an expert on taxation and a library
director.
Drexel
University established an exceptional law faculty, from its
inception.
As a consequence, successful entry-level candidates
must have a demonstrated commitment to, or record of, scholarly
achievement and excellence. Successful lateral candidates must
present a strong and active scholarly agenda with a record
of high quality publications. We are particularly interested
in candidates who bring unique educational, methodological,
or practice backgrounds adding vitality to their research.
Just
as importantly, every professor must be able to communicate
effectively with students. Because we regard teaching as an
essential component of a faculty member’s job, a successful
candidate must be, or be capable of becoming, an excellent
classroom teacher.
In
addition, the successful candidate must share our commitment
to building a new law community from the ground up. Faculty
are expected to be enthusiastic participants in a cooperative
effort to create an excellent law school. As a new law school,
faculty must be willing to invest energy into developing programs,
mentoring students and advising student organizations, and
growing a vibrant intellectual community. We seek faculty members
who look forward to participating in the daily life of Drexel
Law and Drexel University.
Applications
are particularly encouraged from people of color, people with
all sexual and gender identities, individuals with disabilities,
and anyone whose background, experience, or viewpoint will
contribute to the diversity of the faculty.
Because
the law school expects to do substantial hiring, our process
begins immediately. Interested applicants are encouraged to
submit materials as soon as possible to insure full consideration.
All applications will be kept in strictest confidence. References
will not be contacted without the applicant’s authorization.
Teaching evaluations, if available, need not be submitted initially,
although they will be requested when the applicant is under
direct consideration.
To
apply, please send a cover letter and curriculum vitae
(with references) to Professor Daniel M. Filler. We prefer
that applications be submitted via email to: LawFac@drexel.edu.
In
the alternative, applications may be submitted by mail to:
