THE UNIVERSITY OF COLORADO LAW SCHOOL invites applications to lead its American Indian Law Clinic (“AILC”). The AILC, founded in 1992, was one of the first of its kind in the United States.

The AILC application deadline has been extended to January 11, 2022. Please apply here

(link: https://jobs.colorado.edu/jobs/JobDetail/?jobId=35539&emailCampaignId=168).

The anticipated start date is July 1, 2022, with teaching in the clinic to begin in August 2022. This is a full-time academic year position. The AILC faculty position may be on the clinical teaching track or tenure-track, depending on the candidate’s interest and experience.

With one of the country’s leading programs in American Indian Law, dating back to 1992, and a terrific faculty, student body, and set of Indian Country relationships, Colorado Law is excited about the opportunity presented by this position.

We’re particularly eager for candidates who are able to educate the next generation in what we see as a seamless web of tribal, federal, and international law concerning Indigenous Peoples. This is a chance to join the legacy of David Getches, Charles Wilkinson, Rick Collins, Sarah Krakoff, Jerilyn DeCoteau, Jill Tompkins, Carla Fredericks, and more recently Jim Anaya and Kristen Carpenter, in our vibrant community at the University of Colorado. The AILC professor would potentially have the opportunity to participate in our joint projects with the Native American Rights Fund, serve as a mentor to our students, and get involved in the campus-wide Center for Native American and Indigenous Studies.

For consideration, applications must be submitted through CU Boulder Jobs. Deadline is January 11, 2022. Application materials will not be accepted via email. Questions may be directed to Associate Professor Brad Bernthal (Brad.Bernthal@Colorado.edu).
