About the Role

As a Lecturer or Senior Lecturer in Law, you will play a leading role in developing and delivering innovative teaching, research, and scholarship in law.

You will be expected to contribute to both undergraduate and postgraduate law teaching across our programmes. Experience and knowledge of law and digital technology is desirable, but not essential.
