The University of Pittsburgh School of Law invites applications for five (5) tenure-stream and/or lateral faculty positions for the 2023-24 academic year. The School of Law is looking for candidates from any area of research/specialization. We have a particular need in corporate/business law and commercial law and are looking to fill the W. Edward Sell Professor of Business Law chair. In addition, as part of its ongoing effort, the school continues to look for candidates who are interested in being part of university-wide initiatives aimed to quickly advance Pitt’s expertise in Latinx Studies and Race and Social Determinants of Equity and Well-Being. All candidates should have a J.D. or equivalent degree.
The School of Law is located on the main campus of the University of Pittsburgh, one of the nation’s top public research universities, close to state and federal courts, major corporate headquarters, and local, national, and international law firms. The University is one of the anchor institutions of Pittsburgh, a city that has enjoyed a remarkable transformation and continues to reinvent itself as a world-class center of education, medicine, and technology.
In furtherance of our strong institutional commitment to a diverse faculty, we particularly welcome applications from those who are members of underrepresented groups and others who would bring diverse ideas and perspectives to our community. Recruitment is subject to approval by the University’s Provost.
Contact: Professors Christian Sundquist and Greer Donley, Co-Chairs, Faculty Appointments Committee, University of Pittsburgh School of Law, 3900 Forbes Ave., Pittsburgh, PA 15260. Email: sundquist@pitt.edu; donley@pitt.edu. Email submissions are preferred. Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis until the positions are filled.
I notice that Pitt, in contrast to Loyola (NO), is not requiring a "statement about how you can promote diversity, equity, and inclusion."
If this site honestly intended to foster open and thoughtful debate of issues in contemporary legal academia, rather than serve as a forum for one semi-retired person to indulge himself and stifle, insult and censor the views of all others who don't slavishly abide by his dogma, that topic would be a post, and comments would be welcomed: from all points of view in the scholarly community.
