* Law school hiring relating to national security – information for listmembers
I’m aware of several listmembers who plan to seek a law school faculty position this fall, and would like to gather information for them regarding which schools might be interested in hiring in the national security law area (broadly understood). Toward that end, please let me know if your school, or any school you know of, is looking for or at least has some interest in hiring someone (entry level) whose work involves national security issues.
I’ll pass this information back to the listserv periodically.
