Associate Professors/Lecturers in Corporate, Commercial, Competition and / or Banking Law

Are you an outstanding individual with expertise in commercial, corporate, competition and / or banking law with the ambition to contribute to 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 passionate about delivering world-leading research and an exceptional student experience?

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 are seeking to appoint high calibre individuals with a strong research and teaching profile to complement our existing research strengths in corporate, commercial and banking law.

The successful candidates 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 posts are open to those with expertise in the field of corporate, commercial, competition and banking law. 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, tax, dispute resolution and the private law of international commerce.

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.
