Professor of Legal Professions
4 weeks ago
Are you an outstanding individual with passion and enthusiasm about your research and teaching in the field of legal professions, broadly construed? Do you want to be part of a thriving law school in a Russell Group University? Are you an experienced academic leader looking for a challenging senior leadership position?
The School of Law at Leeds is a successful law school strongly committed to achieving excellence in both student education and research. We ranked 4th overall in the UK for the quality of its research in REF 2021 and 1st for the impact of its research on society and have continued to invest to strengthen further our research centres. We are equally proud to deliver some of the best results for student satisfaction and employability and student education lies at the heart of all we do.
We are looking to appoint a Professor in the field of legal professions, to lead research and teaching in this field and to make a material contribution to the School's Legal Professions Research Group (LPRG).
Situated in the Centre for Innovation and Research into Legal Education, the Legal Professions Research Group (LPRG) is a collaborative initiative spanning multiple academic disciplines, aimed at developing world-leading, interdisciplinary research on legal professions, legal professionalism, legal ethics and legal education's links with professional formation. The membership of the group is diverse, encompassing a broad span of legal practice from corporate law to criminal law, regulatory to human rights law, and social justice. Its agenda is shaped by engagement with both academic communities and practitioners, professional bodies, and policy makers. Launched in December 2023, the LPRG has already established affilations with legal professions scholars from across the world and built links with the profession.
You will be expected to enhance the School's research and teaching activities and culture, working with colleagues to build its international profile and standing. This appointment to a major role in a growing School of Law offers considerable potential for personal initiative and fulfilment.
