The University of Houston Law Center (UHLC) invites applications for a tenure-track Assistant Professor position to begin in the academic year 2025-2026 with a primary doctrinal emphasis in criminal law.

Applicants for the position must hold a J.D. degree (or the equivalent) and should demonstrate the potential for success as scholars, teachers, and future members of the UH and the Law Center’s broader community.
