Tenure track faculty

Northern Kentucky University Salmon P. Chase College of Law invites applications for a tenure-track position beginning in the fall of 2026.

NKU is a growing metropolitan university of more than 15,000 students served by more than 2,000 faculty and staff on a thriving suburban campus near Cincinnati. Located in the suburb of Highland Heights, Kentucky-just seven miles southeast of Cincinnati- we have become a leader in Greater Cincinnati and Kentucky by providing a private school education for a fraction of the cost. While we are one of the fastest growing universities in Kentucky, our professors still know our students' names.

The Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky metro area has a population exceeding 2.1 million. The region is an enjoyable place to live that is undergoing exciting urban revitalization and economic growth. The area includes a great variety of attractions, such as museums, live music venues, professional sports, riverfront parks, biking trails, a fantastic zoo, large aquarium, and many festivals. Educational options for children are diverse, and affordable housing options range from downtown lofts to renovated, turn-of-the-century homes, to quaint farmhouses.

Among the courses that are of particular relevance to this position are Business Organizations / Corporations, Federal Income Taxation and Taxation of Business Entities, Contracts, and Trusts & Estates.

The ideal candidate will have excellent academic credentials, the ability to produce high-quality scholarship, and a strong commitment to both teaching and student success.
