Broad-Based Faculty Search at North Dakota Law

THE UNIVERSITY OF NORTH DAKOTA SCHOOL OF LAW is growing and invites applications for faculty members to join the faculty beginning in Fall 2027:

• Up to three tenure track assistant professors, and
• One tenured faculty member at the rank of Associate Professor or Full Professor who will also serve as Associate Dean for Academic Affairs.

We will consider candidates in any field, with our primary curricular needs including Criminal Law, Energy-related courses that enhance our Energy, Environment, and Natural Resources Certificate, Lawyering Skills (legal research, writing, and analysis), Property, Torts, and Wills & Trusts. Candidates whose expertise would strengthen our Certificates in Indian Law & Tribal Law and Aviation Law are especially encouraged to apply.

The School of Law seeks colleagues dedicated to fostering well-rounded and public-minded legal professionals with the necessary skills to serve as effective, self-reflective, and ethical leaders in their communities. Our distinctive character as one of the Nation’s smaller public law schools-and the State’s sole law school-informs our thoughtful and collaborative approach to teaching and learning. We have a close relationship with the State’s bench and bar and a special interest in connecting with and serving our rural as well as urban populations.

The University of North Dakota is committed to creating a welcoming atmosphere and the School of Law strives to maintain a friendly and supportive learning environment helping our students develop into conscientious legal professionals. We particularly value teachers who demonstrate intentionality and creativity and are interested in infusing their doctrinal teaching with writing, research, cooperative learning, interpersonal skills, and/or other pedagogies. We also seek scholars with innovative research agendas and encourage work that transcends disciplinary boundaries, including the scholarship of teaching and learning. For additional information, contact Professor Dan Lewerenz at dan.lewerenz@und.edu.
