The Opportunity:
This is an excellent opportunity for a dynamic and innovative academic to join the School of Law as a Lecturer in Global Law. You should have an established teaching and research profile as well as a proven commitment to promoting the student experience. You will contribute to developing and delivering new learning teaching and assessment (including dissertation supervision) in Global Law and cognate fields. You will also provide a focal point to promote the Law School as a centre of excellence for teaching and research in Global Law.
You will play a full part in the collegiate life of the Edinburgh Law School and will be expected to develop and execute an ambitious and impactful research agenda, which takes a global and pluralist legal perspective on your specialism or legal sub-discipline, and which leads to the publication of internationally-excellent publications in line with the School REF strategy.
The School of Law strives to be a diverse and inclusive community. We particularly welcome applications from candidates belonging to groups that have been traditionally under-represented in the subject.
This post is full-time (35 hours per week). We are open to considering requests for hybrid working (on a non-contractual basis) that combines a mix of remote and regular on-campus working.
Your skills and attributes for success:

* Ability to design and deliver research-led teaching at all levels of the curriculum.
* Ability to supervise undergraduate and postgraduate students in their dissertation work.
* Ability to develop an innovative research profile and research plan in the area(s) of expertise, including through high-quality publications.
* Excellent communication skills and an ability to engage students both on-campus and in online settings.
Application Information:
As well as a CV and cover letter, candidates are requested to upload an outline (maximum 2 pages) of their current and future research plans and a one-page document identifying their two strongest publications (which may include work under review or accepted but not published), and explaining why - in their view - these papers are both original and significant. (a form is provided to facilitate the completion of this step). Candidates who are shortlisted for interview will be asked to submit what they consider to be their two strongest publications where available.
As a valued member of our team you can expect:
* A salary of £49,250 to £60,321 per annum.
