GEORGIA STATE UNIVERSITY, Robinson College of Business, Department of Risk Management & Insurance NON-TENURE TRACK FACULTY POSITION IN LEGAL STUDIES

GEORGIA STATE UNIVERSITY invites applications for one or more non-tenure-track appointments in Legal Studies, effective for Fall 2023 or Spring 2024 in the Department of Risk Management and Insurance (RMI) at the J. Mack Robinson College of Business. Rank is open, but we expect to hire at the level of Clinical Assistant Professor (non-tenure track) or Clinical Associate Professor (non-tenure track). Clinical faculty typically teach a 3-3 load. Salary is 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. While we welcome applications from candidates in all areas of business law, we would be especially interested in applicants whose work engages issues related to commercial law, entrepreneurship, data privacy, or business ethics. While nearly all of our classes are taught in-person, we also encourage applications from individuals who have taught or are interested in teaching in other formats, including asynchronous classes.

ABOUT THE ENVIRONMENT: The successful applicant will join a group of 5 full-time legal studies faculty 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 courses that are cross-listed with courses in the Entrepreneurship and Innovation Institute, the Institute for International Business, and the Department of Economics. Clinical legal studies faculty often collaborate on articles, panels, and paper presentations at regional and national conferences.
