Teaching Fellow in Criminology and Criminal Justice

Fixed term contract - 12 months.

Part time - 19.25 hours per week.

The Opportunity:

This is an excellent opportunity for a committed and enthusiastic academic to join the School of Law as a Teaching Fellow in Criminology on a fixed term basis for 12 months. The position is 0.55FTE (19.25 hours per week). The successful candidate should have completed a PhD (or be close to completion) in a relevant discipline, or have equivalent practical experience.

You will have a strong commitment to promoting the student experience and will contribute to undergraduate and postgraduate teaching and assessment in the Criminology Subject Area. Whilst this is primarily a teaching focused role, our teaching is research-led. Appropriate time will be allocated for you to develop research informed teaching and professional skills training.

The successful candidate will play a full part in the collegiate life of the Subject Area and the Edinburgh Law School. You will be part of a supportive work environment with a thriving early career community and a mentoring programme tailored to academic needs.

The School of Law strives to be a diverse and inclusive community. We particularly welcome applications from candidates belonging to groups that have been traditionally under-represented in the subject.

On this occasion we will not consider applicants requiring visa sponsorship for this role. International workers will therefore only be able to take up this role if they can demonstrate current right to work in the UK.

For informal inquiries, please contact Andy Aydın Aitchison, Head of the Criminology Subject Area Andy.Aydin-Aitchison@ed.ac.uk

This is a part time (0.55FTE, 19.25 hours per week), fixed term position for 12 months assuming a mid-August start.
