York Law School is seeking to appoint a lecturer in law to join and contribute to the distinctive research and teaching environment we offer. We are looking for scholars active in any area of law, but we are particularly keen to invite applications from persons who are able to contribute to the teaching of tort, public law, or healthcare law at the undergraduate level.
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. Our research environment fosters disciplinary excellence while also developing a strong capacity for interdisciplinary leadership. 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.
The School has a particular focus on socially engaged and intellectually creative research across the wide span of its activity, and the environment we provide will be ideally suited to a scholar interested in greater disciplinary openness and in working across doctrinal boundaries.

The University strives to be diverse and inclusive – a place where we can ALL be ourselves.

We offer family friendly, flexible working arrangements, with forums and inclusive facilities to support our staff. #EqualityatYork
