Role Description

York Law School

York Law School is seeking to appoint x2 lecturers in Law either on the teaching and scholarship (T&S) track or on the academic, research and teaching (ART) track to join and contribute to the distinctive learning and teaching environment we offer.

We are looking for applications from persons who have an interest in innovative approaches to teaching law to join our team.

For the T&S track, we welcome applications from persons with interests in any aspect of law, but are particularly keen to invite applications from persons with experience of teaching the skills of professional legal practice and SQE and ability to take a lead role in the development and delivery of our clinical legal education modules.

For the ART track we are looking for scholars in any area of law but we are with strengths in environmental, healthcare and public law

As the only Law School in the UK to base our undergraduate degrees on problem-based learning (PBL), we offer a distinctive and dynamic approach to teaching and learning. We teach the foundation subjects of legal knowledge (public law, the law of the EU, criminal law, obligations, and property including equity and trusts) through PBL in an integrated set of modules in years 1 and 2, with students learning the law through working on scenarios spanning more than one of the foundation subjects. We host the Baroness Hale Law Clinic, which provides a base not only for teaching but also for ethnographic and socially aware research into law. You will join a friendly, collegial, and close-knit community of teachers and researchers, and will benefit from a high degree of support from colleagues at all levels.
