Creighton University School of Law invites applications for a lateral tenured or tenure-track professor in health care law to join our faculty in Fall 2015.  Applicants should have significant academic or practice experience in the business side of health care (e.g., the financing and regulation of health care, including but not limited to the Affordable Care Act).  Creighton University has seven health care schools on its campus, as well as a College of Arts and Sciences and a College of Business, and the Law School is particularly interested in establishing interdisciplinary programs with those schools for non-JD as well as JD students.  Candidates with experience in developing such programs are especially encouraged to apply.  Candidates should have excellent academic credentials and a proven record of (or demonstrated potential for) outstanding classroom teaching and scholarship.

Applicants should apply online to Eric Pearson, Chair of the Faculty Appointment Committee, Creighton University School of Law. Please include:

  • a cover letter explaining the candidate’s interest in the position and the contributions she or he contemplates to our mission and academic enterprise
  • a curriculum vitae
  • if available, course evaluations for prior teaching engagements
  • a representative example of scholarship and/or a research agenda.

Creighton University is a Jesuit university in downtown Omaha, Nebraska, a site that affords our 360 law students a wealth of opportunities to supplement their educational experience.  Omaha is a thriving commercial center, headquarters to several Fortune 500 corporations and two academic medical centers, with a low cost of living.  The city is frequently recognized as one of the best places in America for young professionals to live and raise a family.

In accord with Creighton University’s mission (available at Mission Statement), Creighton Law School is a community of faculty and students who view the practice of law as a calling to serve others and to create a more just world.  Our curriculum is rigorous, theoretical as well as practical, and steeped in Jesuit values.  Our faculty values the care and welfare of students, and takes pride in producing significant legal scholarship.  For more information, visit the Law School’s website.
