About the role

The University of Illinois College of Law invites applications for tenured/tenure-track faculty positions to begin in August 2027. The College seeks scholars in bankruptcy and commercial law, corporate and business law, contracts, civil procedure, and property law, across all subject areas. Applicants must have a J.D. or Ph. D. or equivalent, a strong academic record, and a scholarly distinction or promising record.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
