Lecturer in Intellectual Property Law

The School of Law at Leeds is a successful, dynamic law school, which was ranked 8th overall in the UK for the quality of its research in REF 2014 and 4th for the impact of its research on society.  We are seeking to appoint a high calibre individual with a strong research and teaching profile to complement our existing research strengths in corporate, finance and insolvency, competition and regulation.  The successful candidate will contribute to the national and international profile and standing of the Centre for Business Law and Practice which is one of the School’s highly successful research centres.

The post is open to those with expertise in the field of intellectual property law broadly conceived, but we particularly welcome applicants with expertise and interest in legal aspects of technology, and/or in competition and/or regulation in technology markets, and preference will be given to applicants who can also demonstrate expertise in this area.

As a research active academic, you will be expected to maintain a strong research and publication record, and to enhance the School’s research activities and research culture. 

You will deliver undergraduate and taught postgraduate modules in appropriate subject areas, as well as supervising dissertations and PhD candidates. You will also be expected to undertake a normal load of administrative duties within the School and work within the context of University values and policies, which are designed to promote dignity, diversity and inclusiveness.

The appointment offers considerable potential for personal initiative and fulfilment through work within a centre of research excellence and a growing law school.
