The Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law at Arizona State University invites applications for appointments as Visiting Assistant Professor. The Visiting Assistant Professor (VAP) program is designed for law school graduates who are planning to pursue a career as a legal academic. VAPs will be appointed for a one-year term that is renewable for an additional year, with the anticipation that the VAPs will participate in the Association of American Law Schools faculty recruitment process during the fall of their second year.

During their appointment, VAPs will teach one course each semester. The courses will be selected based on the professional goals of the individual VAP and the needs of the school. A substantial amount of VAPs’ time will be available for work on scholarship, and VAPs will participate fully in the intellectual life of the law school. The school will facilitate each VAP’s scholarly development through attendance at workshops, interaction with faculty, and individual mentorship.

Interested applicants should submit a cover letter, resume or curriculum vita, law school transcript, reference contact information, and an academic writing sample. Either the cover letter or a separate research agenda should describe the research the applicant intends to conduct as a VAP. Applications will be accepted on a rolling basis.
Application deadline is February 15, 2014; if not filled, every two weeks thereafter until the search is closed. Submit materials to:
