 We have the following job posting: The Jurisprudence and Social Policy (JSP) PhD Program in the School of Law at the University of California, Berkeley invites entry-level and early-career lateral applicants for a full-time, tenure-track faculty position focused on law and history. We seek applications from scholars whose primary research focus is law and history in the United States, and also from those engaged in comparative analysis in which American law and history is a component. We seek a scholar versed in qualitative and/or quantitative research methods and theories, and ready to enter into the intellectual life of a unique multidisciplinary PhD Program. Within the broad ambit of law and history our search is open as to the field and/or period of specialization. However, we are particularly interested in candidates whose research relates to race and inequality. The JSP Program attracts a diverse student body with a variety of experiences before graduate school. The JSP Program is committed to methodological pluralism and encourages scholars who are willing and able to mentor graduate and undergraduate students whose research uses a range of methods. JSP faculty members also teach in Berkeley’s interdisciplinary undergraduate Legal Studies major, which operates under the auspices of JSP. The JSP Program is committed to addressing the family needs of faculty, including dual career couples and single parents. We are also interested in candidates who have had non-traditional career paths or who have taken time off for family reasons, or who have achieved excellence in careers outside academia.

The law school strives to educate responsible, effective, and forward-thinking advocates who serve the public through legal practice, public policy, academic scholarship, and related fields. In doing so, the school addresses some of society’s most pressing challenges by leveraging its strengths in teaching and research to improve law, policy, and public institutions. At the heart of Berkeley Law’s public mission is a commitment to access, affordability, and empowering students from all backgrounds to pursue impactful careers across a wide range of professional paths.
