Opportunities for tenure-track and tenured appointments extend to a wide range of subjects, including, but not limited to, much of the first-year American Juris Doctor (J.D.) curriculum (such as Business Associations, U.S. Civil Procedure, Contracts, Torts) as well as upper-level courses with comparative components (including, Intellectual Property, International Business Transactions, Family Law, Public Law, Anti-Trust, and Environmental Law). Scholars working in the areas of IP, law and technology, artificial intelligence, and cross- border deal-making, as well as scholars with significant experience teaching required first-year J.D. courses, are particularly encouraged to apply. STL’s faculty is international, interdisciplinary, and globally trained, with members holding advanced degrees from prestigious leading institutions in the United States and other parts of the Americas, China, and Europe, among other jurisdictions.
Peking University is one of the world’s leading research universities, ranked 13th by the Times Higher Education and 14th by the QS World University Rankings. Established in 2008, STL has approximately 1,500 graduates, many of whom now serve in leadership positions in global law firms, international organizations, multinational enterprises, state-owned enterprises and government. STL alumni pursue careers across China, and jurisdictions around the world, reflecting the school’s global orientation and bilingual training. STL is the only law school in the world to offer an integrated dual degree program that includes an American Law J.D., taught in English, and a China law Juris Master (J.M.), taught largely in Chinese.
