Assistant Professor of Academic Support

Location: Boston, MA | Boston, MA

Position Type: Full time | Full time

Suffolk University Law School in Boston invites applications for
two full-time positions as Assistant Professor of Academic Support
beginning in the 2027–2028 academic year.

The Academic Support Program (ASP) at Suffolk is an integral
part of the Law School faculty and is led by professors who have
received national recognition for their work in academic support
and legal education. ASP professors collaborate closely with the
academic deans, the Dean of Students Office, and faculty colleagues
to promote student learning throughout law school and on the bar
exam.

ASP faculty appointments are not tenure track, but ASP
professors have a path to long-term, presumptively renewable
contracts and receive the same research support resources available
to tenure track faculty.

The responsibilities of ASP faculty at Suffolk include working
individually with students throughout the year to identify areas
for improvement and develop the study and analytical skills
necessary for success in law school and on the bar exam. ASP
professors also teach an upper-level course on legal analysis
and/or bar examination skills and may have opportunities to teach
additional electives related to their areas of expertise or
research interests. ASP faculty teach and work with students in
both the day and evening divisions, both in person and online.

Applications shoud be submitted through Suffolk’s hiring portal
and include a curriculum vitae and letter of interest. The letter
should be addressed to Professor Sarah Schendel, Director of the
Academic Support Program and Chair of the Academic Success
Committee. Questions may be directed to Professor Schendel at
sschendel@suffolk.edu.

Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis until the
positions are filled. For fullest consideration, applicants should
submit their materials by September 25, 2026.

The salary range for this role is $85,000 - $100,000.Salary
