We are looking for someone who can contribute to the teaching of property law.

The position is available on either a Teaching and Research (T&R) or a Teaching and Scholarship (T&S) basis.

For those applying on the T&R track an established or emerging national/international research profile and a clear research trajectory is essential. Your research should engage with socially relevant and important questions that address current and future problems. Potential for engaging with the research funding landscape and/or potential for engagement with external stakeholders and partnerships to deliver real world impact and benefit.

For those applying on the T&S track, a legal professional qualification, professional practice experience in property law broadly defined and some relevant teaching experience is essential. A commitment to embedding professional skills development in the design and assessment of one’s teaching is desirable.

Newcastle Law School is a globally connected, locally rooted and compassionate community. We embrace diversity and advance social justice by addressing contemporary and future challenges through our research, our scholarship, our engagement with partners, and as a lasting impact of our legal education. We are based in Newcastle upon Tyne, a city with a wide variety of cultural, social and leisure offerings, with outstanding schools and close proximity to beautiful nature and heritage sites.

We want to appoint someone who shares our values, and who will work with us to realise them across all our areas of activity. We are particularly interested in the strengths and lived experiences of researchers from different ethnic groups and cultures to broaden the diversity of Newcastle Law School, as we strive to avoid perpetuating biases and oversights on legal research and legal education.
