  1. Dear Professor Farber, We would like you to consider adding the University of Arkansas School of Law to your listing of schools seeking an environmental law professor. While the official job notice for our tenure track position listed a variety of needs, subsequent faculty discussions have highlighted our interest in using this position for a dedicated environmental law professor. There are strong sustainability initiatives already ongoing throughout the University of Arkansas campus, including our efforts in the LL.M. Program in Agricultural & Food Law, that could provide opportunities for collaboration.

    Here is a link to the general job notice. http://hr.uark.edu/jobdetails.asp?ListingID=7019.

    Please note that interested candidates may submit a letter of application and resume, including three professional references, as email attachments to Terri Huckleberry, Assistant to the Dean, at [email protected], or through regular mail to the University of Arkansas School of Law, WATR 167, Fayetteville, AR 72701.

    Thank you – also, if you have any questions or concerns about such a posting, please feel free to contact me directly.

    Best regards,

    Susan Schneider
