SUNY Buffalo Law School invites applications for a clinical teaching fellowship in the area of Domestic Violence and International Women's Human Rights Law and Policy. The fellowship will commence on August 1, 2014, and it is expected to end on July 31, 2015, with the possibility of renewal.

This position will offer an experienced attorney with an interest in clinical teaching the opportunity to refine his or her teaching and supervisory skills while working together with experienced faculty members in a law school clinical program. The fellow will also have opportunities to interact with faculty and students in the law school's other clinics, including Environmental Law & Policy, Mediation, Consumer Financial Advocacy, Community Economic Development, and Human Rights Appellate Advocacy. The fellow's duties will include supervision of clinic students' work on client matters, and, together with clinic faculty, planning and teaching classes and simulation exercises. Fellows will be enrolled in a course each semester to explore clinical teaching methodologies and develop as clinical instructors and student lawyer supervisors. Clients and matters from an existing clinic will be part of the fellow's responsibility, but there will be opportunities for innovation and original design. The fellow will also have the opportunity to work on scholarship and pursue other learning goals.

This is a non-tenure track position, on a 12-month basis. Salary is $48,000 to $55,000, depending upon experience and qualifications. Fellows also receive full benefits (including excellent health insurance), research support, and a moving stipend.

Fellows will be joining a clinical program committed to innovative teaching that helps graduate profession-ready students. The program has the following mission statement: "In the SUNY Buffalo Law School Clinical Legal Education Program, students and faculty engage in practical legal thinking and ethical practice through client representation, policy development, and effective problem-solving in experiential settings. Student lawyers work with skilled faculty, experiencing lawyers' unique and critical role as valued contributors to the legal profession and larger society." SUNY Buffalo Law is an affirmative action/equal opportunity employer with a strong institutional commitment to the achievement of diversity among its faculty, staff, and students. The law school's clinical program is committed to offering our students rich experiences in teaching styles that acknowledge diversity in ways of knowing and learning.
