About The Position
OKLAHOMA CITY UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF LAW invites applications for 2-3 full-time, tenure-track faculty positions, to begin in Fall 2027. We welcome applications from candidates in all doctrinal areas, and we have particular needs in first-year courses (Civil Procedure, Contracts, Torts, Criminal Law, and Property). We seek applicants whose commitment to teaching, research, and service will enhance the learning of our students, broaden the impact of our faculty scholarship, and enrich our close-knit academic community.
