Position Summary
The Christopher N. Lasch Clinical Teaching Program (“Program”) at the Sturm College of Law prepares talented and dedicated individuals to serve as future full-time clinical faculty members at U.S. law schools. Christopher N. Lasch Clinical Teaching Fellows (“Lasch Fellows”) undertake a rigorous training program involving assignment to a particular clinic within the Student Law Office and an associated three-year course of teaching, research, and study culminating in an LL.M. degree. The Program honors the life and legacy of Professor Christopher N. Lasch (1965-2021), who served on the faculty of the Sturm College of Law for over a decade. Professor Lasch was a fierce advocate for social justice, a nurturing teacher and mentor, and a scholar of immense range and significance who took a strong and enduring interest in the training of future lawyers and clinical law teachers.
During the course of the Program, Lasch Fellows enroll in a seminar focused on clinical pedagogy; supervise clinical students, first as co-supervisors with full-time clinical faculty and then on their own; assist in teaching clinical seminars; engage in client representation; and prepare one or more scholarly articles of publishable quality. Lasch Fellows receive an annual stipend and are awarded LL.M. degrees upon their successful completion of their fellowships.
We seek a Lasch Fellow in the Environmental Law Clinic (ELC), an intensive, year-long clinical course in which students represent clients in a wide range of environmental matters, including in litigation before state and federal courts and in proceedings before administrative agencies. Currently, the ELC’s work includes litigation to enforce air pollution laws, representation of community and environmental justice organizations in administrative proceedings such as rulemakings, and support for community members who need assistance navigating Colorado’s water laws – including representing community groups in Colorado’s water courts.
The successful candidate would commence their responsibilities on July 1, 2026.

- At least three (3) years of practice experience in environmental law and litigation
- A commitment to inclusive teaching methods

Search Teaching Jobs in ColoradoTeaching Jobs in Colorado: Frequently Asked Questions
Which visa types are most common for teaching roles in Colorado?
The H-1B is the most common visa for postsecondary teaching roles at Colorado universities and colleges, where positions typically qualify as specialty occupations requiring at least a bachelor's degree in a relevant field. K-12 teachers often enter on J-1 exchange visitor visas through cultural exchange programs. Some districts also sponsor H-1B petitions for bilingual or special education teachers facing persistent shortages.
Which companies and institutions sponsor visas for teaching jobs in Colorado?
Denver Public Schools, Cherry Creek School District, Jefferson County Public Schools, and Aurora Public Schools are among the K-12 employers that have sponsored teachers. On the higher education side, the University of Colorado Boulder, Colorado State University, and the University of Denver regularly sponsor H-1B petitions for faculty and lecturer positions. Charter networks operating in the Denver metro area also periodically sponsor qualified candidates.
How to find teaching visa sponsorship jobs in Colorado?
Migrate Mate filters job listings specifically by visa sponsorship availability, making it straightforward to browse teaching roles in Colorado without sifting through positions that don't offer sponsorship. You can search by role type, including K-12, higher education, and specialized instruction, and filter results to Colorado. This saves significant time compared to reviewing general job boards where sponsorship status is rarely disclosed upfront.
Which cities in Colorado have the most teaching visa sponsorship jobs?
Denver and its immediate suburbs, including Aurora, Lakewood, and Englewood, account for the largest share of sponsored teaching positions due to the concentration of large school districts and universities. Boulder is a secondary hub driven by the University of Colorado campus. Colorado Springs and Fort Collins also generate steady demand, particularly for postsecondary faculty roles at Colorado College, UCCS, and Colorado State University.
Are there any Colorado-specific considerations for internationally sponsored teachers?
Colorado requires all K-12 teachers to hold a valid Colorado Department of Education license, and international candidates must meet the same licensure standards as domestic applicants, including subject area exams and background checks. For H-1B sponsored roles, the sponsoring district or university must file a Labor Condition Application with the Department of Labor certifying that the offered position meets prevailing wage requirements for the specific occupation and geographic area within Colorado.
What is the prevailing wage for sponsored teaching jobs in Colorado?
U.S. employers sponsoring a visa must pay at least the prevailing wage, which is what workers in the same role, area, and experience level typically earn. The Department of Labor sets this rate to make sure companies aren't hiring foreign workers simply because they'd accept lower pay than a U.S. worker. It varies by job title, location, and experience. You can look up current prevailing wage rates for any occupation and location using the OFLC Wage Search page.
