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

The successful candidate will be expected to contribute to teaching across the spectrum of Commercial 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 Consumer Law.

Brunel has a strong track-record of securing research funding from EU and other international sources. Regardless of the long-term future for UK participation in Horizon Europe, Brunel will continue to ensure that staff have access to non-EU research funding, and we will continue to support our many bilateral collaborations within the EU and will remain an active member of YERUN.

We offer a generous annual leave package plus discretionary University closure days, excellent training and development opportunities as well as a great occupational pension scheme and a range of health-related support. The University is committed to a hybrid working approach.

Closing date for applications: Thursday, 19 October 2023 (Midnight).

Interviews will take place on 30 October 2023 in person.
