Lecturer (Law)

Location: Manchester All Saints Campus

Contracted hours per week: 37

Manchester Metropolitan University's Law School is recruiting and is offering outstanding opportunities for excellent scholars committed to making a difference for our students and wider society through excellent education that transforms lives and high quality, impactful research. We are based within a fantastic global city and are a warm, supportive and inclusive Law School community. We were delighted to be awarded ‘Law School of the Year' in the Educate North Awards 2025.

As part of the University's significant and continued investment in the Law School's strategic vision and growth, there are exciting opportunities available at Lecturer level, contributing to the delivery of programmes across the academic portfolio and joining a vibrant and rapidly growing community.

This particular role aligns with our education and pedagogy/practice pathway.

Every appointment will be expected to deliver excellent learning and teaching in, at least, one of our core UG modules and elective modules at undergraduate and/or postgraduate level.

We have a number of areas of priority teaching need – especially in areas of Company and Commercial Law, Contract, and Employment Law. We would like to see applicants who are excited to teach in these areas and play a role in leading their development within the School.

Applicants, with broader interests in digital legal education, pro bono and sustainability would also be welcome, to build on the School's leadership in this area.

Our programmes have a strong contextual focus, and we are keen to appoint colleagues who are motivated to deliver an outstanding student experience for all of our diverse cohorts.

For this post, ideal candidates would be individuals who have experience in delivering legal education in HE contexts, and/or are able to bring their legal practice experience to the classroom to further strengthen our contextual approach to legal education – with particular interests in corporate and commercial law (broadly defined). This pathway will provide successful candidates with the opportunity to be supported in working with internationally recognised scholars in legal pedagogy and colleagues who draw on outstanding legal practice expertise.

We are proud of our diverse student community and the differences that their experiences bring to the School and to professional, public and third sectors after they successfully graduate. We are keen to ensure that our staff group is as representative as possible and so welcome applications from all sections of the community, irrespective of background, belief or identity. We recognise the benefits that a diverse organisation can bring and particularly encourage applications from groups which are underrepresented in the University workforce.

To apply, please submit your CV and Covering Letter via our application portal. For informal enquiries, please contact Andrew Francis (Dean of Manchester Law School) on Andrew.Francis@mmu.ac.uk
