Please submit a cover letter, your C.V., and contact information for three references (name, email address, telephone number, and address). Note: the form will ask for one contact reference - please list all three references on one form.
Questions regarding this position should be directed to Professor Joshua Fischman, at jfischman@law.virginia.edu. Questions regarding the application process should be directed to Marcus Rozier, Academic Recruiter, at hjv5vm@virginia.edu.
