Vacancy ID: 3971
Department: Leicester Law School
Vacancy terms: Full Time, Open Ended
Salary details: Competitive
Hours per week: 37.5
Advert closes midnight on: 07 Nov 2021
The University of Leicester is seeking to appoint an outstanding academic as a Professor in Law with first class academic leadership and management skills and an excellent track record in research, to join an ambitious Law School recently ranked 18th in the Guardian University Guide 2022 rankings. We are ambitious in REF 2021 and hoping to improve on our REF 2014 position (for which we were ranked 26th in THE for Law), and in turn improve on that in REF 2028.
The role is intended to provide research leadership within the Law School: helping to consolidate existing strengths and develop new projects and initiatives working across the School and University as a whole. You will undertake research of a world-leading standard, attract significant research funding, and contribute to teaching and administration. You will make a significant contribution to the School's reputation, building on existing strengths and raising levels of research activity, research income, teaching excellence and the visibility of the School.
We are looking to make two appointments at Chair level; neither appointment is restricted to particular areas of law. However, we have a particular interest in critical legal scholars and feminist legal scholars. The candidates might add to existing research strengths we have, such as European and International Law (including private international law), Medical Law and Socio-Legal studies, or they might allow us to capitalise on emerging strengths such as Social Justice and Inclusion.
The successful candidate will work as part of a vibrant team alongside colleagues within Leicester Law School and across the University, and will play a key role in the School's continued success and future ambitions.
With a PhD in Law, you will have a proven record of research achievement and an established international reputation as a legal scholar. You will be able to evidence this through external grant capture, publications in peer reviewed journals and other relevant outputs.
With a track record of training and mentoring research students and experience of building effective collaborative relationships, you will have a clear future research plan and a commitment to high quality teaching, ensuring our students get the best experience possible.
For more information on the role and its responsibilities please see the Job Summary Form.
For informal enquiries, please contact Professor Sally Kyd, Head of the Leicester Law School, at sally.kyd@leicester.ac.uk.
Applications should consist of a curriculum vitae detailing relevant qualifications and experience, full employment history and achievements. CV's should be accompanied by a 2 page covering letter describing briefly how you feel you meet the criteria outlined in the Job Summary Form, your achievements, why the appointment is of interest and what you'd like to achieve in the role.
Interviews for this position will take place on the 23rd November 2021. A presentation group with the School will take place prior to the interviews.
The University of Leicester has been changing the world, and changing people's lives, for 100 years. When you join us, you'll become part of a community of Citizens of Change, which includes not only our staff and our current students but also thousands of Leicester graduates around the world.
As a diverse and forward-thinking employer, we embed the principles of equality, diversity and inclusion into everything we do. That includes not just our core missions of teaching and research, but also our support for staff, students and our local community.
We're committed to the wellbeing of all our staff and to the sustainability of our environment, on our campus and beyond. We offer a competitive salary package, excellent pension scheme and a generous annual leave allowance, along with opportunities to develop your career in a supportive and collaborative environment.
