The University of Colorado Law School seeks applicants for a clinical faculty position in its Natural Resources Clinic.  The Clinic was one of the first of its kind in the country, having been founded in 1978.  Originally housed at the National Wildlife Federation, the Clinic came in-house to Colorado Law in Spring 2010.  The incoming clinical faculty member will be responsible for developing a docket of projects dealing with natural resources issues.  The faculty member will also have primary responsibility for supervising students in their case or project work, and for organizing and teaching a companion clinical seminar.

Candidates must have a JD degree and a minimum of five years practical experience.  Prior teaching experience is strongly preferred.  Candidates must be licensed to practice law in at least one state and be eligible to sit either for the Colorado bar or waive admission into Colorado.

To apply, candidates should mail a letter describing their interest, their initial thoughts on the kinds of projects they would develop for the clinic, relevant practice experience, and any prior teaching experience, along with a resume and the names of three references to Deborah J. Cantrell, Associate Professor & Director of Clinical Programs, University of Colorado Law School, Wolf Law Building, 404 UCB, Boulder, CO 80309-0404.  The deadline for applications is October 24, 2010.  Teaching will begin August 2011.  Colorado Law is an equal opportunity employer.
