Kent Law School is currently seeking applications for two permanent lectureships/senior lectureships and a one-year fixed term lectureship.
Ranked 8th in the UK for research intensity in the Research Excellence Framework (REF) 2014, the School has an excellent reputation for interdisciplinary/critical research, legal education and public service. Almost all (99%) of the research submitted to the REF was judged to be of international quality and the School’s environment was judged to be conducive to supporting the development of world-leading research.
The School is home to several dynamic research centres and groups offering a rich and varied programme of seminars, film screenings, visiting speakers, workshops, conferences and other research events.
