Job Details
Do you have the ambition to play a significant role in the further development of the School’s Centre for Business Law and Practice?
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, dynamic law school strongly committed to achieving excellence in both student education and research. We were ranked 8th overall in the UK for the quality of our research in REF 2014 and 4th for the impact of our research on society and have continued to invest to strengthen further our research centres. We are equally proud of our results in the National Student Survey over the last few years and student education lies at the heart of all we do. We have invested significantly in our Centre for Business Law and Practice over the last few years and now wish to strengthen the centre further as both a pinnacle of research and teaching excellence.
We are looking to appoint to a number of chairs in corporate, commercial and / or banking law. The core purpose of the role will be to provide leadership in the further development of the School as a centre for both research and teaching in these areas, based upon an excellent record of academic publications. Applications are welcome from those whose interests lie in commercial law (broadly conceived), but the School particularly wishes to build on its existing strengths in corporate, banking, competition, dispute resolution and the private law of international commerce.
More generally, the successful candidate will be expected to enhance the School’s research and teaching activities and culture, working with colleagues to build its international profile and standing. These appointments to a major role in a dynamic and growing School of Law offer considerable potential for personal initiative and fulfilment.
