GEORGIA STATE UNIVERSITY invites applications for a non-tenure-track appointment in Legal Studies, effective fall 2022 in the Department of Risk Management and Insurance at the J.

The salary level and course load are competitive.

JOB QUALIFICATIONS: Candidates must have a J.D. degree from an ABA accredited law school, the capability to publish research in refereed pedagogical and/or professional journals, and demonstrated potential to be an outstanding teacher. Significant professional experience as a lawyer is also highly valued.

ABOUT THE ENVIRONMENT: The successful applicant will join a group of 6 full-time legal studies faculty (5 of whom are non-tenure track) and two other attorneys in the Department of Risk Management and Insurance (RMI) who regularly teach legal studies classes in our undergraduate and graduate programs. Our Legal and Ethical Analysis of Business Environments course is required of all undergraduate business majors, and our graduate course, Law, Ethics and Governance is required of all MBA students. In addition, we teach an array of law-related courses in our Business Law Minor, including several courses that are cross-listed with courses in the Entrepreneurship and Innovation Institute, the Institute for International Business, and the Department of Economics. Legal studies faculty often collaborate on articles, panels, and paper presentations at conferences.
