Lecturer in Law (ESLLW1112)

Are you an outstanding individual with the ambition to join a thriving law school and to contribute to the further development of the School and its research centres? Are you passionate about delivering world-leading research and an exceptional student experience?

The School of Law at Leeds is a successful, dynamic law school, which was ranked 8th overall in the UK for the quality of its research in REF 2014 and 4th for the impact of its research on society. We are seeking to appoint high calibre individuals with a strong research and teaching profile to complement our existing research strengths. The successful candidate will contribute to the national and international profile and standing of one of the School’s highly successful research centres. 

An ability to teach one or more foundational subjects is essential and we particularly welcome applications from those with research and teaching interests in the common law, commercial law (broadly conceived), public law, human rights or the law of evidence. 

As a research active academic, you will be expected to maintain a strong research and publication record, and to enhance the School’s research activities and research culture.

You will deliver undergraduate and taught postgraduate modules in appropriate subject areas.. You will also supervise dissertations and PhD candidates. You will be expected to undertake a normal load of administrative duties within the School and work within the context of University values and policies, which are designed to promote dignity, diversity and inclusiveness. 

The appointment offers considerable potential for personal initiative and fulfilment through work within a centre of research excellence and a growing law school. 

We particularly welcome female applicants and black and minority ethnic applicants, as they are under-represented within the Law School at this level.

We will consider flexible or shared working arrangements.

As part of your application, please could you submit copies of your two strongest publications? These should represent your best work in terms of originality, significance and rigour and both should be published since January 2014. One could be a draft that has been submitted or is close to submission.
