Applications are invited for a Lectureship in Private Law in the Brunel Law School. The appointment is being made to consolidate the School’s strong research and teaching profile in Private Law.

Brunel Law School has a long-standing reputation for research, rated ‘excellent’ in areas that include company law, human rights and international and comparative law. Brunel University London is ranked 20th globally and 4th in the UK by the Times Higher Education World University Rankings' 2023 for its international outlook, reflected by the fact that two members of the law school staff, Professor Javaid Rehman and Professor Alexandra Xanthaki, are United Nations Special Rapporteurs. The Law School has also been recognised as a leader in terms of student employability.

The successful candidate will have a strong research and publications record suitable for submission for the next REF (or its replacement), and will be able to demonstrate coherent future research plans as well as the potential for obtaining external funding. The successful candidate will also have a strong teaching record (or demonstrate such potential) and will be able to demonstrate coherent future teaching plans. Candidates must already hold a PhD (or equivalent) or demonstrate that they are very close to completing their PhD.

The successful candidate will be expected to contribute to teaching across the spectrum of Private Law subject areas as well as contributing to other undergraduate or postgraduate teaching as the need arises, and to undertake administrative duties within the Law School. We currently have a particular need for a candidate with expertise in teaching Family Law.
