Job Posting: Berkeley Law's Jurisprudence & Social Policy Program Seeks Applications for an Assistant Professor of Law and History
We have the following job posting:
The Jurisprudence and
Social Policy (JSP) PhD Program in the School of Law at the University
of California, Berkeley invites entry-level and early-career lateral
applicants for a full-time, tenure-track faculty position focused on law
and history. We seek applications from scholars whose primary research
focus is law and history in the United States, and also from those
engaged in comparative analysis in which American law and history is a
component. We seek a scholar versed in qualitative and/or quantitative
research methods and theories, and ready to enter into the intellectual
life of a unique multidisciplinary PhD Program. Within the broad ambit
of law and history our search is open as to the field and/or period of
specialization. However, we are particularly interested in candidates
whose research relates to race and inequality.
The JSP Program attracts a diverse student body with a variety of
experiences before graduate school. The JSP Program is committed to
methodological pluralism and encourages scholars who are willing and
able to mentor graduate and undergraduate students whose research uses a
range of methods. JSP faculty members also teach in Berkeley’s
interdisciplinary undergraduate Legal Studies major, which operates
under the auspices of JSP.
The JSP Program is committed to addressing the family needs of
faculty, including dual career couples and single parents. We are also
interested in candidates who have had non-traditional career paths or
who have taken time off for family reasons, or who have achieved
excellence in careers outside academia. For information about potential
relocation to Berkeley, or career needs of accompanying partners and
spouses, please visit: http://ofew.berkeley.edu/new-faculty.
The law school strives to educate responsible, effective, and
forward-thinking advocates who serve the public through legal practice,
public policy, academic scholarship, and related fields. In doing so,
the school addresses some of society’s most pressing challenges by
leveraging its strengths in teaching and research to improve law,
policy, and public institutions. At the heart of Berkeley Law’s public
mission is a commitment to access, affordability, and empowering
students from all backgrounds to pursue impactful careers across a wide
range of professional paths. For more information, please visit: https://www.law.berkeley.edu/public-mission/.
