Asian Law (China)

The University of Washington School of Law seeks to appoint a tenured or tenure-track professor in the field of Asian law, specializing in the law of the People’s Republic of China (PRC). Preference will be given to established scholars, but the Law School is also open to applications from less experienced scholars who wish to make a career in Chinese law. Appointment status (as Assistant Professor, Associate Professor or Full Professor) and salary are dependent on the candidate’s experience and qualifications.

The successful candidate will join two Asian law colleagues, and will be expected to contribute fully to the research and development role of the Law School’s Asian Law Center. The Asian Law Center provides teaching programs at the J.D., LL.M. and Ph.D. levels and the successful candidate will be expected to contribute to these and to the J.D. curriculum.

Applicants must be fluent in Mandarin Chinese and able to conduct research using materials from the PRC and Greater China. A record of excellence in teaching and mentoring students is desirable. Applicants should also show a capacity to undertake interdisciplinary work within a large research university.

The University of Washington is building a culturally diverse faculty and strongly encourages applications from women and minority candidates. The University is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action employer.

This position has not been previously advertised; applicants who have previously applied to the Law School for other positions may be considered.

Applications received by June 15, 2004 will receive first consideration. Applications, including a letter of intent, resume, and the names and addresses of references (or letters of reference), should be sent to:
