The School has a friendly, supportive and engaged staff base with a shared vision for excellence. With over 50 successful, well qualified and culturally diverse academic staff, we are now looking to enhance expertise in the foundation subjects of law through the appointment of a lecturer.

The successful applicant should hold a good honours degree (or equivalent) in law, a relevant master’s qualification or a postgraduate professional qualification, and preferably hold or be willing to register for a PhD. Ideally applicants will hold a teaching qualification or demonstrate willingness to undertake such a qualification. 

Evidence of ability to produce publications to contribute to future REFs, and/or a willingness to engage in income generation and high quality research or knowledge transfer work is essential.
