The Opportunity:
This is an excellent opportunity for a committed and enthusiastic early-career academic to join the School of Law as a Teaching Fellow in International Environmental Law on a fixed term basis from 1st April 2026 to 31st January 2027. The successful candidate should have completed a PhD (or be close to completion) in a relevant discipline, or have equivalent practical experience.
You will have a strong commitment to promoting the student experience and will contribute to undergraduate and postgraduate teaching and assessment in the International Law Subject Area, specifically in the LLM programme in Global Environment and Climate Change Law. Whilst this is primarily a teaching focused role, our teaching is research-led. Appropriate time will be allocated for you to develop research informed teaching and professional skills training. Research peer support and mentoring will also be provided within the Subject Area.
The successful candidate will play a full part in the collegiate life of the Subject Area and the Edinburgh Law School. You will be part of a supportive work environment with a thriving early career community and a mentoring programme tailored to academic needs.
The School of Law strives to be a diverse and inclusive community. We particularly welcome applications from candidates belonging to groups that have been traditionally under-represented in the subject.
This post is full-time (35 hours per week); however, we are open to considering flexible working patterns. We are also open to considering requests for hybrid working (on a non-contractual basis) that combines a mix of remote and regular on-campus working.
For informal inquiries, please contact Dr Ana Maria Daza Vargas, Senior Lecturer in International Law, at AnaMaria.DazaVargas@ed.ac.uk
This is a full time (35 hours per week), fixed term position, available from 1st April 2026 to 31st January 2027.
