About the role
The successful applicant will work with colleagues and students within the Sussex Law School and School of Law, Politics and Sociology. They will teach on and assess undergraduate and postgraduate modules offered on our LLB, and potentially MA and LLM, courses and contribute to the student experience and support of students.
The successful applicant will be on the Education and Scholarship pathway. It is envisaged that the post holders will spend approximately 60% of their time on teaching, 20% on scholarship and 20% on administration and citizenship work. Lecturer A (Grade 7.4) is an early career position. Mentoring is provided, and the postholder will benefit from a probationary reduction in teaching hours as well as remission to secure foundational HE teaching qualification if this is not already held.
