**The Post**
The University of Stirling’s largest faculty has earned a reputation for delivering some of the most highly-rated Arts and Humanities courses in the country. With a focus on innovation, exploration and creativity, you’ll be part of a vibrant environment defined by world-class teaching and research. Staff thrive in a dynamic culture where collaboration is key, international links abound and the desire to make a meaningful contribution to society is always at the forefront of our minds.

Law and Philosophy is defined by outstanding teaching, research and student satisfaction rates. Law was the only Law School in Scotland to have all of its research impact case studies graded at 3 or 4* in REF 2021, while almost all research conducted by Philosophy staff was rated world-leading or internationally excellent during the same assessment. Our expertise informs our teaching, from undergraduate level through to our Law and Philosophy postgraduate courses (notably the MSc on Human Rights and Diplomacy run with UNITAR and the LLM in International Environmental and Energy Law) and thriving PhD programme.

We have a number of new opportunities to join the Faculty at a really exciting time for the University. All jobs will be offered on a teaching and research basis.

This is a dynamic Law School that has offered the LLB since 2005 and has a consistent track record of excellence in teaching and research.
