What are the responsibilities and job description for the Adjunct Professor (Part-Time) - UIC Law position at uic?
Position Summary
The UIC School of Law, Chicago's
only public law school, is seeking a highly
motivated and passionate Adjunct Professor to join our team and teach courses
in the Juris Doctor program. This is a part-time, non-tenure-track position
offering an opportunity to contribute to the intellectual development of future
legal professionals.
Adjunct
Professors normally are appointed for one semester at a time and teach one or
two courses in an academic year.
Most
courses are taught in person at our downtown Chicago campus, during the day or
evening; some also include synchronous or asynchronous online components. A
learning management system is used to post syllabi and other materials and
communicate with students. Adjunct faculty are required to participate in
orientation and training sessions and to comply with academic and institutional
policies.
To be
considered for an adjunct faculty position, candidates should submit an online
application, including a PDF copy of a resume or curriculum vitae; names and
contact information (preferably including telephone numbers and email
addresses) for three references familiar with the applicant's practice or
teaching credentials; and a cover letter or other document identifying the
specific courses or programs at the School of Law for which the applicant
wishes to be considered.
Candidates
are asked to refer to the information posted at https://go.uic.edu/lawadjuncts
before submitting an application. Specific courses and programs for which the
School of Law anticipates hiring adjunct faculty in the near future are posted on
that page. Individuals with less than five years of law practice experience who
otherwise meet the qualifications for this position should instead consider
applying for the Adjunct Teaching Associate position.
