Texas Tech University School of Law Seeks Professors

The Texas Tech University School of Law is seeking to fill three tenure-track positions for the 2010-11 academic year, and seeks applications from exceptional individuals interested in joining our faculty. Our curricular needs include courses in the areas of introductory and advanced corporate law (e.g., Business Entities, Mergers & Acquisitions, and Securities Regulation) and courses in the area of natural resources law, energy law or agriculture law (e.g., Environmental Law, Land Use and Planning, Property, Oil and Gas Law, and Public Land Law).  Subject areas for the third tenure-track position will vary depending on curricular needs but may include both first-year and advanced courses.  Candidates with demonstrated excellence in most subject areas will be considered for this third position.  Once hired, faculty members are evaluated and advancement determined by contributions in the areas of teaching, research and service.  

Texas Tech University, with 28,000 students, is located in Lubbock, Texas in the high plains of West Texas. The metropolitan area serves as home to 250,000 people.  The law school has approximately 700 students and 40 full-time faculty members. Lubbock enjoys a low cost of living, including very affordable housing prices, and easy access to other parts of the country via four major airlines that offer daily flights.

Texas Tech is committed to a policy of equal opportunity for all in every aspect of its operations and encourages applications from all qualified persons. We encourage applications from candidates with diverse backgrounds and persons traditionally under-represented in law schools.  Cover letter, resume, and contact information for three references should be sent to:  Professor Jorge A. Ramírez, Chair, Personnel Committee, Texas Tech University School of Law, 1802 Hartford Avenue, Lubbock, TX 79409-0004.
