RESEARCH PROFESSOR AND SENIOR FELLOW, The RONALD H.
BROWN CENTER FOR CIVIL RIGHTS AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
ST. JOHN’S UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF LAW
St. John's University School of Law is seeking outstanding
candidates to apply for the position of Research Professor and
Senior Fellow of The Ronald H. Brown Center for Civil Rights and
Economic Development. This is a two-year appointment, with a
reduced teaching load, typically six credits each academic year.
The RHB Research Professor and Senior Fellow position is not a
tenure-track position. Instead, it is designed to prepare new
law professors to produce high quality scholarship and acquire
teaching skills that will enable them to obtain a tenure-track
position at a top law school.
The RHB Research Professor and Senior Fellow (the “Research
Professor/Senior Fellow”) is chosen based on an evaluation of the
applicant's potential to obtain a tenure-track position with
appropriate support and mentoring. In addition to traditional
teaching and scholarship, the Research Professor/Senior Fellow
holds an appointment in The Ronald H. Brown Center for Civil Rights
and Economic Development and will assist in all aspects of its
nationally recognized pipeline, academic, and other programs,
including its work with the Journal of Civil Rights and
Economic Development, a law journal dedicated to issues of
racial, social, and economic justice. In particular, the Research
Professor/Senior Fellow will teach a course related to racial,
social, and economic justice and will help supervise scholarly
writing of the Journal students.
Applicants must have a Juris Doctor degree with an outstanding
academic record, a strong commitment to issues of racial, social,
and economic justice, and a commitment to teaching and
scholarship.
To apply, please mail (or e-mail) a cover letter, curriculum
vitae, writing sample, and the names of three references to
