Environmental Law Faculty Searches

There are a fair number of law schools currently looking for environmental law teachers.  I thought this information might be useful to people who are in the job market currently.  Here are the searches that I’m aware of:

American University Washington College of Law is looking for a tenure-track or tenured lateral environmental law professor.  The preferred candidate would teach US Environmental Law with a scholarly focus on federal environmental law and regulation.  Other curricular needs that would be a plus are administrative law, property law or energy law.

George Washington University Law School – possible environmental law search, but not yet decided.
