Job description
LMU Loyola Law School (LLS), located in Los Angeles, California, invites applications for the full-time position of Director of the Graduate Tax Program and Associate Clinical Professor of Law, a non-tenure track clinical faculty position. The position will commence as soon as possible during the current (2023-2024) Academic year.
LLS launched its Graduate Tax Program in 2001 to provide rigorous in-person training in tax law for students in the southern California region. Its Tax LLM Program has been ranked among the top 10 such programs nationally for many years. In 2008, LLS launched a three-year Joint JD/Tax LLM program, the first of its kind in the country, and initiated its Summer Tax Intensive Program, again the first of its kind in the country, through which JD students can obtain 12 units of intensive tax training prior to their 2L fall on-campus interviews. In 2019, LLS also launched an online Tax LLM program, now the 3rd-ranked such program in the United States. Members of the full-time tax faculty of LLS, including the Director, teach courses in the Graduate Tax Program curriculum. Adjuncts drawn from southern California’s sophisticated tax bar also teach in the Program. The principal responsibility of the new Director will be to move the Program forward.

This academic and administrative position includes the following responsibilities:
- Teaching and student counseling in the Graduate Tax Program; and
- Graduate Tax Program administration and development, including: student recruitment and admissions oversight; recruitment, hiring, and evaluation of adjunct professors; oversight of the design, production, and distribution of marketing and other Program materials; coordination with other law school and university administrative service departments; and development and expansion of the Graduate Tax curriculum.
Requisite Qualifications:
Applicants are expected to have a distinguished academic background, including a J.D. from an accredited law school, and to have practiced and/or taught tax law at a sophisticated level for a minimum of three years. Given the administrative responsibilities and teaching associated with the position of Director of the Graduate Tax Program, meaningful administrative or managerial experience and teaching experience are also preferred.
Application Process:

The Law School views the provision of an online program as making rigorous tax law education available to students who might not otherwise have access to such education.
The salary of the candidate selected for this position will be determined based on a range of factors, including but not limited to, the candidate’s education, training, and experience. Salary is one component of LMU’s total compensation and comprehensive benefits package.
