Research Professor

2 months ago

Chicago, United States American Bar Foundation Full time

The American Bar Foundation (ABF) invites applications to join its residential faculty as a Research Professor beginning in the 2025-2026 academic year. We seek one or more early to mid-career scholar(s) with a PhD and/or JD and a demonstrated capacity for innovative research on socio-legal issues. We welcome applicants from all research domains, all social science disciplines, and all methodological and theoretical approaches. We are deeply committed to fostering a diverse scholarly community, and we strongly encourage applicants from historically under-represented groups.

The successful candidate(s) will join a vibrant interdisciplinary community of scholars, contributing to expanding knowledge and advancing justice through rigorous, theoretically grounded empirical research. ABF Research Professors hold a mix of full-time appointments at the ABF and joint appointments with nearby universities. These appointments are ongoing, subject to periodic performance reviews. All ABF Research Professors receive competitive salary and benefits and generous internal research funding, along with office space, computing support, and library access at the ABF's downtown Chicago headquarters, adjacent to the Northwestern University Law School. They enjoy intellectual autonomy and are responsible for setting their own research agendas and designing and conducting their own empirical investigations, and they are expected to pursue external funding and publication opportunities whenever feasible and appropriate.

For the current hiring cycle, among other things, we especially encourage applicants with backgrounds in anthropology, or with research agendas addressing migration and citizenship, whether in the US or globally. We also particularly welcome applicants, regardless of discipline or research domain, who seek a full-time (non-joint) ABF appointment, although joint appointments with Chicago-area universities are also possible.

How To Apply

Interested candidates should submit:

  • A cover letter of no more than three pages, which should include a brief statement about the applicant's commitment to diversity and inclusion in their scholarship and professional life; 
  • A curriculum vitae; 
  • A writing sample; 
  • A research statement of no more than two pages, describing current and future research plans; and 
  • Three academic letters of reference, submitted directly to careers(at)abfn.org.

To ensure full consideration, all materials should be submitted no later than September 15, 2024. Materials should be uploaded electronically, through the Breezy portal, except for the letters of reference. Inquiries can be directed to careers(at)abfn.org.
