The Indiana University Maurer School of Law is seeking an outstanding lateral candidate to join our faculty as a tenured professor of law and to serve in the role of Director of the Center for Constitutional Democracy.
Founded in 2005, the Center has developed an impactful record of scholarship, teaching, international engagement, and practical assistance focused on constitutional democracy and the rule of law. Its work has included partnerships with scholars, lawyers, judges, public officials, and reformers confronting democratic transition, constitutional reform, institutional fragility, and threats to constitutional government.
The Law School seeks a director who will build on this distinguished first chapter and help the Center envision the most important tools to understand and support democratic constitutional orders domestically and abroad in the years ahead.
We welcome candidates whose interests connect constitutional democracy with fields such as law and political economy; comparative constitutionalism and democratic resilience; or technology, information systems, and democratic governance. These examples are illustrative, not exhaustive. The Center’s mission extends beyond any single domestic legal issue and calls for a director able to engage constitutional democracy across institutions, disciplines, and national boundaries.
The director will oversee the Center’s programs and operations; work with affiliated faculty and students; develop conferences, lectures, and scholarly and applied projects; represent the Center to academic, professional, governmental, philanthropic, and international audiences; open professional opportunities for students, and teach courses related to its mission.
