Stipendiary Lecturer in Law

St Edmund Hall proposes to appoint a Stipendiary Lecturer in Law from the beginning of Trinity Term 2025 to the end of Trinity Term 2026 (20 April 2025 to 20 June 2026). This is a fixed-term post to cover teaching requirements during Professor Joanna Bell’s maternity/sabbatical leave.

The Lecturer will be expected to provide 7 weighted hours of tutorials per week during term time to undergraduates.  Please note, this is an average and these hours will not necessarily be evenly spread.  The teaching will be exclusively in FHS Administrative Law and Mods Constitutional Law.

The appointment will be made on the Senior Tutors’ Committee recommended scale for 7-hour Stipendiary Lecturers (in the range £19,330 to £21,359 per annum) and will be subject to revision in line with national adjustments and will be pensionable with the Universities Superannuation Scheme (USS). The successful candidate will be entitled to a research allowance at the rate of £925 per annum.

The Lecturer will also be entitled to lunch and dinner at the Common Table throughout the period of the appointment whenever the College Kitchen is open and the use of a bookable teaching room.

Applicants should hold or be working towards a doctorate in Law or be able to demonstrate excellence in legal research in other ways. Consistent with Law Faculty policy, we will not offer employment to research students who have not yet obtained their D. Phil student status (i.e., passed their Qualifying Test). Applications should clearly show how skills and experience meet the criteria contained in the Further Particulars.
