The University of St. Thomas School of Law (Minnesota) invites applications for a full-time faculty position teaching and writing in doctrinal subjects, beginning in Fall 2026. We will consider applicants in all subject areas. We will consider both entry-level and lateral candidates, and both tenure-track and tenured appointments. Applicants must possess a J.D. or equivalent academic degree, strong academic credentials, demonstrated strong scholarly potential (for entry-level hires) or accomplishment (for lateral hires), and a commitment to excellence in teaching.
UST Law has been recognized for excellence in multiple ways:
-
#23 in faculty scholarly impact (Leiter/Sisk rankings, August 2024)
-
#17 in downloads per paper in Social Science Research Network (as of June 22, 2025)
-
#3 for best practical training (National Jurist, 2024; top 3 every year since 2014)
-
#8 for state and local clerkships (Princeton Review, 2024)
The School of Law’s commitments to scholarship, teaching, service, and community are inspired by its mission, which dedicates it, as a Catholic law school, “to integrating faith and reason in the search for truth through a focus on morality and social justice.” We seek candidates, of diverse faiths and beliefs, who can contribute to this mission. The University is an EEO employer, as described in the full position notice, https://facultyemployment-stthomas.icims.com/jobs/8689/assistant-associate-full-professor-of-law/job.
The School of Law is located in the heart of downtown Minneapolis. The University, a Division I university, is the largest private university in Minnesota, with 9,000+ undergraduate and graduate/professional students in eight colleges and professional schools.
We will review candidate materials posted in the AALS Faculty Appointments Register (FAR), and we also invite applications from candidates not participating in the FAR. All application materials must be submitted online at the link above.
Review of applications will begin in August and continue until the position is filled. Initial screening interviews will be conducted remotely. For further questions, please contact the Appointments Chair, Professor Thomas Berg, at tcberg@stthomas.edu.
