Adjunct Lecturer, Law (Pooled Posting)

Job Description Summary

The Law Department at Bentley University is always interested in learning about qualified candidates for Law adjunct faculty positions. Openings for these positions are not always available, but we encourage all qualified applicants to put their application into this pool as openings can occur at any time. Given our current course offerings, our teaching needs most likely would be for our courses in Commercial Law, Environmental Law, Health Law, Securities Law, and Social Justice Law.

Therefore, if an applicant has expertise in one of these areas, they are encouraged to list that expertise in their application and/or cover letter. It is possible that expertise in other topical areas may become of interest as we develop new courses or experience changes in our current faculty so applicants should list these as well. Based on the needs of the Department, we will actively source candidates from this applicant pool when hiring Law adjunct faculty.
