RUTGERS LAW SCHOOL invites applications for three non-tenure track visiting clinical faculty positions and one teaching fellow in the Camden location to begin in the summer of 2024. The positions are funded by a major appropriation from the New Jersey legislature that is in its third year and is expected to continue, and by a three-year grant from the New Jersey State Bar Foundation (NJSBF). Each position will be for an initial one-year appointment with the potential for renewal for up to a total of three years. Appointment for the non-tenure track visiting faculty positions may be as visiting assistant, associate, or full professors depending on experience and other considerations. Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis so interested candidates are encouraged to apply as soon as possible. With new funding and new hiring also happening at Rutgers Law School in Newark and at Seton Hall, this is a unique opportunity to be part of a cohort of new clinicians within the law school and across New Jersey, with opportunities for mutual support and community building. Rutgers Camden is also just across the Delaware River from Philly and is also part of the Delaware Valley clinical community.
