As part of our ambitions to reshape legal education and scholarship, we are currently looking to appoint an outstanding candidate to the position of Lecturer within the School. Successful applicants will contribute to all areas of activity within the School, in particular teaching, research and enterprise. We would particularly encourage applications from candidates who combine innovative and ground-breaking research with a passion for transformative legal education and a commitment to the School's civic mission and unique identity. We would also welcome candidates with a background in the legal professions and/or other innovative areas of professional practice.

We welcome applicants with scholarly or professional expertise in any field of law, but in particular, encourage applications from candidates with a specialist knowledge of, or interest in, the broad fields of property law and connected areas. The School’s programmes host a large number of property law modules at undergraduate and postgraduate levels, including a core Property Law module for all LLB students. Successful applicants will be supported in developing research- and/or practice-led teaching in their specialist areas and contributing to the broader teaching, research, and knowledge exchange activities of the school.

The School houses a diverse academic and professional community that seeks to push the boundaries of legal knowledge and practice. It is home to numerous flagship centres that are leading hubs of expertise and public engagement. These include the Centre for Law, Society and Popular Culture; the Law and Theory Lab; International Law at Westminster; the Centre for Law, Gender, Race and Sexuality; the Centre on the Legal Profession; and the Westminster Legal Advice Clinic. Beyond our commercial focus, we offer flagship LLM courses in Entertainment Law and International Law, and our undergraduate portfolio now includes courses in Law and Criminal Justice, Law and International Relations, and a ground-breaking new critical degree in Policing, alongside our longstanding LLB programmes.
