Teaching Fellow in Law

Are you a highly effective and experienced teacher? Are you passionate about teaching and working with students to achieve their full potential? Do you want to be part of a thriving law school in a Russell Group University?

The School of Law is committed to achieving excellence in student education. We are proud of our results in the National Student Survey over the last few years, and student experience lies at the heart of all we do. As part of our ongoing commitment to improve what we do in student education, we are seeking to appoint a high calibre individual with a strong teaching profile to complement our existing teaching strengths. 

The post is open to an outstanding teacher with the ability and willingness to deliver high quality teaching and knowledge to students at both undergraduate and postgraduate level. The ability to teach International Law — including modules such as LAW5655M World Trade Organisation Law and LAW5645M The International Law of Foreign Investment — and to contribute to core modules across the LLB Law Programme is essential in order to meet the funding conditions attached to the externally funded teaching cover.

You will be able to contribute to the standing of the School’s Centre for Innovation and Research in Legal and Criminological Education demonstrating excellence in teaching and scholarship, the ability to promote pedagogical enhancement and innovative educational practice; and contributing to the School’s commitment to scholarship based developments in education.

You will deliver teaching on undergraduate and postgraduate modules in appropriate subject areas, as well as supervising dissertations. You will also 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.
