Faculty Position in Law

Peking University School of Transnational Law ("STL") invites applications for a tenure-track or tenured faculty position from highly qualified individuals. While we welcome candidates from all fields, we are particularly interested in scholars specializing in Law and Technology (including AI) and Intellectual Property (IP) Laws. We also seek candidates with experience teaching first-year required courses as part of a JD curriculum.

Peking University is one of the world's leading research universities, ranked 14th by both Times Higher Education and QS World University Rankings. STL is the only Law school in the world to offer an integrated dual degree program that includes an American Law JD, taught in English , and a China Law Juris Master (JM), taught largely in Chinese. STL is continuing to build its capacity as a center of research excellence for all aspects of transnational law and legal practice. STL , established in 2008, has more than 1000 graduates , many of whom now serve in leadership positions in global law firms, international organizations, multinational enterprises, state-owned enterprises and government. STL is located on Peking University's Shenzhen Campus, minutes from Hong Kong. Shenzhen, which is widely recognized as a global technology center and the leading hub for technological innovation and internationalization in mainland China, is home to such giants of innovation as Tencent, Huawei, BGI, Ping An, BYD and DJI Drones.

Opportunities for a tenure-track or tenured appointment extend to a wide range of subjects, including much of the first-year JD curriculum (in particular, Business Associations, US Civil Procedure, Constitutional Law, Contracts, Property and Torts) as well as upper- level courses with comparative components (a broad category that includes, as illustrative examples, international business transactions, energy law, and environmental law). We especially welcome applications from candidates who can teach courses in law and technology (including AI) and intellectual property (IP) Laws. 

Teaching positions at STL are structured to empower faculty members to emerge as influential figures in their respective disciplines. This role is bolstered by research support, ensuring that faculty have the resources they need to make significant contributions to their fields. Additionally, STL provides an attractive teaching package, thoughtfully balanced to ensure a manageable teaching workload, enhancing the ability to focus on both academic and professional growth in an invigorating intellectual and cultural environment. 

Interested applicants should submit a CV, a cover letter, and a job paper (if available) to Wang Wei, Associate Director of Human Resources, at hr2@stl.pku.edu.cn
