Touro University Jacob D. Fuchsberg Law Center
Vice Dean with Faculty Rank (Assoc. or Prof. of Law)
in Great Falls, Montana
Touro University Jacob D. Fuchsberg Law Center is expanding its footprint and seeking an experienced, visionary leader to serve as Vice Dean, with faculty status (Associate or Professor of Law), for its nationally recognized FlexTime JD Program at its new Great Falls, Montana campus. The Vice Dean will serve as the chief deputy to the Dean, overseeing and managing the day-to-day academic and administrative operations of the Touro Law Montana campus.
Touro’s innovative FlexTime JD Program is a blend of in-person instruction required only on Sundays with online asynchronous coursework completed during the week. The program is specifically designed to meet students where they are, breaking down geographic and scheduling barriers. It provides students who may not be able to step away from existing careers and family obligations an opportunity to earn a law degree. By leading this campus, the Vice Dean will directly increase access to a high-quality law degree for non-traditional students and, in turn, help close the access-to-justice gap across Montana.
Candidates must have a J.D. degree from an ABA accredited law school and a commitment to teaching in an environment dedicated to excellence in teaching and mentoring of students. We look for innovative faculty with a preference for both practice and teaching experience. Applicants must demonstrate a commitment to service to legal education and to the wider community as well as a desire to engage in the intellectual life of the Law Center. Applicants are expected to be willing and capable of teaching in-person and remotely and familiar with best practices in both modalities. Candidates should have an established legal scholarship record or promise of legal scholarship.
Touro Law Center, a member of the Association of American Law Schools (AALS), is part of the Touro University. Established in 1970 to focus on higher education for the Jewish community, Touro University has grown to serve a widely diverse population. We are uniquely attuned to the importance of education for students of all backgrounds and circumstances.
