FULL-TIME, NON-TENURE-TRACK TEACHING POSITIONS
Date Posted: 9/9/2006
Salary: N/A

The University of South Carolina School of Law has created several full-time, non-tenure-track teaching positions in its Legal Writing Program, to begin in August 2007. The positions are full-time, and teachers may receive five-year contracts after a probationary period of three one-year contracts. These positions are not designed to be stepping stones to tenure track positions but can be very rewarding for people who genuinely enjoy working with students. Each teacher will be responsible for approximately 40 students each year. Thus, these positions are not compatible with the continuation of law practice, even part-time, during the academic year; teachers will be expected to focus all of their time and energy on their students. Salary will likely be around $50,000 for the nine-month academic year.

The ideal candidate will have a record of outstanding academic achievement in law school; excellent analytical, research, and writing, and interpersonal skills; significant experience in law practice; teaching or tutoring experience; astounding patience; and a good sense of humor. The University of South Carolina requires individuals to complete an online application. You may access the USC Jobs Online Employment site at http://uscjobs.sc.edu.
