Job Description

Founded in 2007, Quimbee is one of the most widely used e-learning platforms for law students and attorneys in the United States. Quimbee has a massive digital library of content designed to help law students and attorneys succeed, every step of the way. We're looking to expand our team of talented professionals.

Description

Quimbee is looking for a legal academic with strong subject-matter expertise in corporate tax law to write a comprehensive class outline designed to help law students prepare for classes and final exams in that subject. The position is project-based, and depending on the subject, we estimate that this project will take between two and four months to complete. The project will be completed in weekly installments, and you will have a partner on the Quimbee editorial team to ensure that the project sticks to Quimbee's meticulous guidelines. You will, however, be entirely responsible for the legal subject matter contained in the outline, including all research. Quimbee can provide reasonable hardcopy references (such as a casebook or treatise on the subject) to assist in research but cannot provide access to an online legal research platform.

Requirements

  • JD from an ABA-approved law school
  • Academic experience as a professor in corporate tax law or related field; OR relevant publications or other experience demonstrating subject-matter expertise and the ability to communicate in an educational context

Benefits

  • Hourly compensation of $100/hour

Job Description

Working Title
Assistant Professor of Business Law

 

Posting Number
F01220P

 

Department
SDSU-Ness School of Management & Economics

 

Physical Location of Position (City)
Brookings

 

Posting Text
The Ness School of Management and Economics at South Dakota State University (SDSU) invites applications for a tenure-track Assistant Professor of Business Law. The Ness School seeks a dynamic, innovative legal scholar whose research interests include, for example, anti-trust, bankruptcy, corporate, employment, intellectual-property, labor, real-estate, securities, agriculture, and environmental law. Research outcomes associated with this position must satisfy the academic standards the AACSB associates with its faculty-status classification, Scholarly Academic. Teaching responsibilities associated with this position include undergraduate and graduate courses in legal environment of business, business law, real estate, labor law, and agricultural law.
 
The Ness School, which includes approximately 30 full-time faculty members and a team of academic advisors, embodies an intellectual philosophy that economics and quantitative analysis are foundational to thriving in and critically assessing a modern global economy. In keeping with the land-grant mission of the university, the school is the premier source for economics and business intelligence in the region. The school engages its stakeholders in the classroom, through scholarship, and through outreach—formally through SDSU Extension and otherwise. The school is a unit of the College of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences.
 
The Ness School is in the process of securing AACSB accreditation, managing significant enrollment growth in its majors, and balancing new opportunities in core business fields with its traditional strengths in economics and quantitative analysis. In its research, teaching, and outreach efforts, the school embraces interdisciplinary and interprofessional collaboration. The roughly 900 students who major in the Ness School complete coursework in intermediate economics, calculus, statistics, accounting, and business finance; and students who major in business economics, agricultural business, or entrepreneurial studies complete a comprehensive suite of business courses, including courses in business law. Meanwhile, thousands of students pursue the school’s minors, including those in accounting, marketing, management, and real estate. Students enrolled in the school’s master’s program in economics complete either an economic-theory option, which emphasizes applied economic research in the form of a graduate thesis, or a business-economics option, which requires courses in managerial economics, advanced business decision science, financial management, marketing strategy and analytics, and a capstone experience that potentially collaborates with industry. A graduate real-estate certificate is available as well.
 
This is a 9-month, full-time, benefit eligible, tenure-track position. The position is supervised by the Endowed Director of the Ness School of Management and Economics.
 
We anticipate a start date of August 22, 2023.
 
South Dakota State University promotes access to and opportunities for all to receive the benefit of and participate in education, research, and service and is especially interested in candidates that can contribute to this land-grant mission of access.

  • Lead with exceptional pedagogy in the classroom and through undergraduate- and graduate-student mentorship.
  • Teach six undergraduate or graduate courses or sections each academic year in conventional face-to face on-campus formats and, potentially, through emerging modes of remote delivery, including hybrid and/or other online format.

  • Professional experience in the practice of business law or a related field.
