NYU Seeks to Hire A Tax VAP

New York University Graduate Tax Program, Visiting Assistant Professor of Tax Law Position Commencing Fall 2025:

For over 50 years, the Visiting Assistant Professor of Tax Law program has launched the careers of dozens of tax academics.

Visiting Assistant Professors of Tax Law (VAPs) show promise as legal scholars and have a strong interest in teaching. They serve on a full-time, non-tenure track basis at the Law School for two academic years. At the start of their second year, they are expected to seek a tenure-track position on the law school academic job market.

While in residence at the Law School, Tax VAPs devote a substantial amount of time to their scholarship and begin to develop their research agendas. Tax VAPs teach one course in the Graduate Tax Program each semester. Each Tax VAP also generally serves an Assistant Editor of the Tax Law Review, the nation’s top tax policy journal.

The NYU Law tax faculty mentors the Tax VAPs, evaluating and assisting in their teaching and providing feedback on their scholarly work. In addition, the faculty provides substantial support in preparing the Tax VAPs for entering the academic job market. Tax VAPs are also encouraged to attend faculty workshops and conferences, especially the Tax Policy Colloquium, which meets weekly in the spring semester.
