I’m on a committee charged with locating qualified candidates for an endowed professorship at the University of Missouri-Columbia School of Law (my home institution). The position is not limited to any area of law, but candidates should have a proven track record of scholarly productivity. If you’re a star of the legal academy (or at least a rising one) and would like to be considered for the position, please contact me via email. (You can access my email address from my law school homepage, which is linked on the right.) Alternatively, if you know of someone who’s qualified for this sort of position and might be interested in it, I’d be happy to receive a nomination (again, via email).
The text of the law school’s official advertisement for the position is below the fold.
The University of Missouri-Columbia School of Law seeks applications and nominations for a tenured position as the James E. Campbell Missouri Endowed Professor.
