Job Description

POSITION DESCRIPTION:

Consider the opportunity to participate in a unique opportunity as a post-doctoral teaching and learning fellow at Montclair State university.  This role is unique in that it is focused on developing superior teaching skills to prepare the successful candidate for a career in academia and it represents a joint appointment across the Departments of Political Science and Law and Justice Studies.  The primary focus for this role is on issues of equity and law. This postdoctoral position is designed to address the “preparation gap” faced by First Generation and/or minoritized students seeking to attend law school. The successful candidate will have scholarly expertise in issues of equity and law, with a keen interest in pedagogical exploration to bridge academic disparities among students.  The Departments of Justice Studies and Political Science both house rigorous academic programs taught by dedicated faculty who are focused on the success of students. Responsibilities:

Teaching: The PDTLF Fellow will teach introductory courses in both departments and develop a special seminar on Equity and the Law. The PDTLF fellow is also expected to contribute to the life of the department, college, and university by engaging in high impact pedagogies and programming events within their respective fields of expertise to attract and retain superior students and support their preparation for careers and post-graduate work, particularly for those seeking a law degree. 

The fellow will conduct research to explore effective pedagogical strategies for addressing the preparation gap among students aspiring to attend law school. This includes developing innovative teaching methods, assessing student needs, and contributing to the scholarly discourse on legal education.  The university will also provide the fellow with a mentor to support their success while at the university. 

Collaboration: The fellow will collaborate with faculty members in both departments to enhance cooperation and interdisciplinarity. The goal is to develop sustainable programs and initiatives that address the preparation gap, benefiting not only the host departments but also other university departments.

The Department of Political Science and Law will serve as the home department. This is a 12-month position beginning on September 1, 2024. 

QUALIFICATIONS:

  • Ph.D. in Political Science, Law, Justice Studies, or a related field.
  • Expertise in issues of equity and law, with a focus on the U.S. legal system.
  • Commitment to pedagogical curiosity and innovation.
  • Ability to teach a range of introductory and specialized courses in both departments.
  • Strong research background and interest in addressing challenges faced by underprepared students.
