They're doing some fascinating stuff there. Here's the job description, with more after the jump.
The Center for the Study of the Legal Profession at Georgetown University Law Center is seeking an Executive Director who will work closely with faculty Co-Directors of the Center on a variety of projects furthering the mission of the Center. That mission is to promote scholarship on the profession that is informed by awareness of the dynamics of modern law practice; to furnish practitioners with broad perspectives on developments in the profession, as well as research from a variety of fields that is relevant to law practice; and to provide students with a sophisticated understanding of the opportunities and challenges of a career in practice.

Projects may be at the Center’s own initiative or in response to an interest in collaboration that has been expressed by persons or organizations outside the Center.
The position requires a law degree, or advanced degree and experience with research on the legal profession, and at least four years of experience in a law school, legal practice, or organization engaged in research on the legal profession.
