Hopkins-Nanjing Center seeks U.S. law professors

I've been asked to forward the following. Please note that there is no expectation of previous experience in China, nor do applicants need to speak Chinese.

I have visited the campus and it's a pretty impressive place with a surprisingly good library. Professors I know who have taught there all seem to have enjoyed it.
