We are seeking an Associate Professor to join Leicester Law School and play a key role in advancing our teaching and research.

Additionally, you will contribute to the administration and broader activities of the School, such as student support initiatives, research seminars, and external collaborations.

In this role, you will also lead the development and revision of degree programmes, ensuring they are inclusive and responsive to contemporary educational needs, including embedding sustainable development goals.

Your ability to contribute to innovative teaching, combined with a commitment to educational excellence, will be essential. You will also have the interpersonal skills necessary to mentor students and colleagues, work effectively in teams, and lead teaching and research programmes.
