The UNIVERSITY OF ARKANSAS SCHOOL OF LAW-FAYETTEVILLE invites applications from both entry-level and lateral candidates for a tenure-track clinical faculty position to begin in the fall of 2017.

The law school is focused on hiring an individual who can build on and expand our successful Immigration Law Clinic. All applicants for the position should have significant practice experience in immigration or asylum law, and some familiarity with supervising young attorneys. Candidates should also have demonstrated scholarly promise, strong classroom teaching skills, and an absolute willingness to serve on school committees. Any successful applicant will be expected to sit for the Arkansas bar examination (or to waive in by motion, if an eligible member of a reciprocal jurisdiction).

In furtherance of the law school’s fundamental commitment to experiential learning, clinical professors have full tenure rights and equal voting privileges on all faculty issues.

The University of Arkansas–Fayetteville, located in the northwest corner of the state, is the flagship campus of the University of Arkansas. The University is an equal opportunity, affirmative action institution and welcomes applications without regard to age, race, gender (including pregnancy), national origin, disability, religion, marital or parental status, protected veteran status, military service, genetic information, sexual orientation or gender identity. Persons must have proof of legal authority to work in the United States on the first day of employment. All applicant information is subject to public disclosure under the Arkansas Freedom of Information Act.

Applicants with questions may contact Professor Steve Clowney, Chair, Faculty Appointments Committee, at sclowney@uark.edu.
