Law/Legal Studies: The University of
Washington School of Law invites appli-
cations for its Visiting Assistant Professor
(VAP) program. The VAP program is de-
signed to support and encourage opportu-
nities for those interested in attaining po-
sitions as tenure-track law school faculty.
VAPs generally serve for two-year terms.
During their time in residence, VAPs en-
gage in teaching, scholarly research and
writing, as well as other aspects of aca-
demic life (e.g., attending weekly faculty
colloquia and workshops). They are pro-
vided with salary and benefits, faculty of-
fice space, administrative support, and a
faculty support account to facilitate trav-
el and research. In addition, one or two
faculty members partner with each VAP
to provide mentoring, including advice
on scholarly research, networking oppor-
tunities, teaching guidance, and prepara-
tion for the academic job market. VAPs
are encouraged to participate fully in our
intellectual community and hence are
generally treated like regular full-time
members of the faculty but with reduced
teaching requirements and without ad-
ministrative responsibilities in order to
afford substantial time for scholarly re-
search. Candidates applying to the VAP
program must demonstrate the promise
of obtaining a tenure-track position at
a law school. We encourage both recent
law school graduates and those who have
worked in law practice to apply. Appli-
cations are due by January 15, 2012 and
should include the following materials: (1)
a cover letter indicating your objectives
while in the program, areas of interest in
the law, and law school courses you would
be willing to teach; (2) a curriculum vitae;

a list of law school courses you would be
willing to teach (listed in order of prefer-
ence); and (5) a scholarly agenda outline
or current article or paper on which you
are working. Application materials should
be mailed to the following address: Chair,
