Assistant Professor/Professor - Lateral - Jurisprudence and Social Policy Program - School of Law

 


Jurisprudence and Social Policy Program
School of Law
University of California, Berkeley

Position Announcement

The Jurisprudence and Social Policy (JSP) Ph.D. Program in the School of Law at the University of California, Berkeley invites entry-level and lateral applicants for one or more full-time, tenured and tenure-track faculty positions. We are open to outstanding candidates in any area related to the study of law and legal institutions, but we are particularly interested for this search in candidates in the following fields and areas: law and political science (including public law), law and political economy, law and economics, law and inequality, law and psychology, or punishment and society/criminology. JSP embraces methodological pluralism, but has an acute current need for scholars who use statistical methods in their research targeted on the study of law and can/will teach statistical methods at the doctoral-level (which could include data science).

Entry-level applicants must either: a) hold a Ph.D. or equivalent international degree by date of application, or b) have advanced to candidacy status for a Ph.D., or equivalent international degree, in political science, economics, or another social science field at the time of application. Lateral applicants must hold a Ph.D., or equivalent international degree in political science, economics, or another social science field at the time of application. Given the multidisciplinary character of the JSP Program, faculty members are expected to teach both graduate and undergraduate courses within their own expertise, and help mentor doctoral students within their own area of disciplinary training as well as across a range of fields. They also are expected to teach in the interdisciplinary undergraduate major, Legal Studies, which operates under the auspices of JSP. A J.D. degree is not required, though we welcome candidates who could contribute to teaching within the broader community at Berkeley Law, including the J.D. program.

We are interested in candidates who have demonstrated excellence in research, teaching and service, and a commitment to building an equitable and diverse scholarly environment. Candidates may be appointed at the tenure-track or tenured level, depending upon their qualifications and experience. The appointment is expected to begin on July 1, 2019. For further details about the JSP and Legal Studies Programs, see http://www.law.berkeley.edu/jsp/ and http://legalstudies.berkeley.edu/. If you have questions about the position, contact Taeku Lee, Search Chair and Professor of Law and Political Science (taekulee@berkeley.edu) and/or Calvin Morrill, Associate Dean for JSP / Legal Studies (cmorrill@law.berkeley.edu).

Early applications are encouraged. The final deadline for applications is October 1, 2018.

Entry-level candidates must complete an online application with Berkeley Law via the following link: https://aprecruit.berkeley.edu/apply/JPF01836.

Lateral candidates who already hold tenured or tenure-track positions at other institutions are encouraged to apply online for consideration via the following link:
https://aprecruit.berkeley.edu/apply/JPF01835

All applications should include in pdf format a letter of interest, a curriculum vitae, a description of current research and teaching interests, a diversity statement describing past and proposed contributions to advancing diversity, equity and inclusion (further information about the diversity statement is available at: https://ofew.berkeley.edu/recruitment/contributions-diversity/support-faculty-candidates), and copies of or electronic links to representative and recent scholarship. Entry-level candidates must supply three letters of reference. Lateral candidates should not send letters of reference, but must enter three references with contact information who may be contacted for letters at a later time. Other materials, such as teaching evaluations, may be requested of top candidates for entry-level or lateral positions. All letters will be treated as confidential per University of California policy and California state law. Please refer potential referees, including when letters are provided via a dossier service or career center, to the UC Berkeley statement of confidentiality (http://apo.berkeley.edu/evalltr.html) prior to submitting their letters.
