IEL Teaching Fellow Position at Stanford

Lots of good jobs to post about these days.  Here's another:

The Teaching Fellow in international economic law, business and policy will work with candidates in the LLM specialization in IELBP. The fellow will assume significant academic, advising and administrative responsibilities. He or she will be responsible for organizing and co-teaching a yearlong colloquium addressing current issues and scholarship in international economic law and business, and may also develop a lecture course in the field. The fellow will also organize and facilitate informal workshops, outside speakers, and academic and social events, be responsible for day-to-day administrative management of the LLM program, advise and counsel LLM candidates on academic and personal issues, respond to inquiries from prospective LLM applicants, and interact with our faculty in support of the LLM program goals and needs. The fellow will work with the Director of International Graduate Programs, and under the supervision of the Director of the IELBP program. The fellow will also fully participate in the admissions process, working under the guidance of the Associate Dean for Admissions to admit the new class. Although this is a full time position, the fellow should have a reasonable amount of time to conduct his or her own research, and will have ready access to affiliated faculty for that purpose.
