Full-Time Tenure Track Faculty: School of Law

Overview

Quinnipiac University’s School of Law invites applications for several faculty positions to join our collaborative community and make a significant impact by inspiring and mentoring students. We welcome both entry-level and lateral candidates.

Areas of particular curricular need include Evidence (immediate need), as well as Family Law and Criminal Law in light of anticipated curricular growth and alignment with the NextGen bar exam. Additional areas of interest may include Contracts, Civil Procedure, Business Organizations, Commercial Law, Trusts & Estates, and Academic Excellence / Bar Preparation.

We are especially interested in candidates who can contribute to our Legal Research and Writing program while also teaching in a foundational doctrinal area. This integrated teaching model reflects the School’s commitment to combining skills instruction, doctrinal learning, and bar readiness.

Appointments may be structured to align with the candidate’s teaching profile and institutional needs, including tenure-track or other full-time faculty roles, as well as teaching models that combine legal writing and doctrinal instruction.

All faculty positions are full-time and based on Quinnipiac’s North Haven campus, with an expectation of in-person teaching and engagement in the academic community.

We particularly encourage applications from candidates whose backgrounds, experiences, or scholarship would enhance the academic excellence of our faculty.

The anticipated start date is August 2027.
