Visiting Professor - Law

The University of St. Thomas (Minneapolis) School of Law invites applications for one or two Visiting Professor positions at any faculty rank for either the 2024 Fall semester or the full 2024-25 academic year.  We have specific curricular needs for Fall to cover two sections of first year Torts.  We will consider candidates' interest in teaching additional courses in light of our other needs.  Applicants will be expected to teach two classes during a semester visit, and either three or four classes during an academic year visit.
