We currently have vacancies for LSE Fellows and a Professor of Socio-Legal Studies:
LSE Fellows (up to two posts)
The Law Department is seeking to appoint two fixed-term LSE Fellows.
The objective of the Fellowships is to provide a development opportunity for those who have exceptional potential in legal research and scholarship. The fellowship is not restricted to any particular area of legal study. Fellows are expected to contribute to class teaching on the undergraduate degree programme. While our class teaching needs can arise in all core areas of the undergraduate curriculum, we particularly welcome applicants who can teach in the area of international trade law, World Trade Organisation and/or global trade governance for one of the posts.
You will have a PhD in Law, or be close to completing one, by the post start date. In addition, you will have a research expertise in an area of law with exceptional potential to develop a body of high-quality publications in peer reviewed journals and demonstrable potential to develop a national/international reputation for research in the area of expertise. Relevant teaching experience including assessing courses at undergraduate and postgraduate level would be an advantage.
