From an email message that I recently received:
University of Missouri School of Law invites applications for a two-year fellowship designed for promising scholars planning to pursue a career in the legal academy. The fellow shall be jointly appointed to the School of Law and the University’s Kinder Institute on Constitutional Democracy. We are especially interested in former federal appellate clerks looking for the opportunity and support to develop their scholarly agendas and teaching skills within an intellectually vibrant community. This program will provide a unique opportunity to work with law students as well as undergraduate and graduate students affiliated with Kinder. In addition to teaching one law course per year, the fellow will teach an undergraduate seminar in constitutional litigation that will involve observation of court proceedings, conversations with federal judges, and other similar experiential components.
Faculty members at both the School of Law and Kinder Institute will provide mentorship, including extensive feedback on teaching and scholarly work. The fellow will attend faculty workshops and present works in progress and practice job talks in a supportive setting. The fellow will be eligible for a summer research grant for two summers, have access to research assistants, and receive a budget for professional travel. We are seeking candidates with an excellent academic record. A J.D. is required.
Application Procedure: Review of applications will begin immediately and will continue until the position is filled. To apply, please submit a cover letter, CV, and writing sample at http://hrs.missouri.edu/find-a-job/academic/.
