The University of Chicago Law School invites applications for the Earl B. Dickerson Fellowship, with an appointment at the rank of Instructor, for a two-year term. The Law School seeks candidates who demonstrate the promise of distinguished legal scholarship and law teaching and ideally have relevant practice experience that will qualify them to act as teachers and mentors of students. The program is designed to provide the Fellow with substantial time for writing and research, along with significant research funding where appropriate. The fellowship is open to any individual with a JD, Ph.D., or similar degree who intends to pursue a career as an academic.
