Job description

Applications are invited for a 0.4 FTE permanent Lecturer in Law post within the North Wales School of Law.

The North Wales School of Law is a newly established School within Bangor University, bringing together Law, Criminology, Sociology and Policing. It builds on long-standing disciplinary strengths at Bangor and brings them together within a new structure focused on enhancing collaboration in teaching and research, and on driving forward growth and development across these priority areas.

Educated to PhD level in Law or related/relevant subject area (or near completion); or relevant professional experience in legal practice, the successful candidate will have experience of teaching in Higher Education or experience in legal practice, together with a strong commitment to student-centred, inclusive teaching. Candidates will have either a developing scholarly profile or professional legal expertise and will contribute actively to the development of the School.

The successful applicant will play a key role in delivering our foundational law curriculum, contributing to the teaching of core subjects that underpin students’ legal education. We particularly welcome applicants with an interest or expertise in Public International Law, although we are keen to hear from candidates with a broad range of legal interests who can contribute flexibly across our curriculum. The role will also involve contributing to student recruitment and outreach activity, including supporting the promotion of our programmes and engaging with prospective students.

The ability to communicate in Welsh is desirable for this post.

The successful candidate will be expected to commence as soon as possible.

The role will be located on our Bangor campus. Through our Dynamic Working framework, there will also be the option to spend some time working remotely (although remaining in the UK) to support work-life balance, which will be discussed further with candidates at interview.

Closing date for applications: 21 September 2026

Interviews will be held: w/c 5th October 2026 (provisional)

Informal enquiries should be directed to Dr. Hayley Roberts, Head of School: [e-mail]
