Full Text of JOE Listing:

The ABF invites applications to join its residential faculty 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 sociolegal 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.
