York Law School is seeking to appoint two lecturers in law to join and contribute to the distinctive research and teaching environment we offer. We welcome applications from scholars who can support our teaching on any part of the core law curriculum, but we particularly welcome applications from persons with research or teaching interests in equity, obligations, and criminal 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 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.
