Surrey Law School is committed to undertaking original, outstanding scholarship, and to delivering innovative, engaging teaching. The 2025 National Student Survey placed the school in the top 16 in the UK for law and the school was ranked 6th in the UK in REF 2021 for overall quality of research publications. The school comprises three main research clusters: The Surrey Centre for Law and Philosophy, the Surrey Centre for International and Environmental Law, and the Law and Technology Hub. Our ethos is a warm and collegial one that encourages reflection and engagement with research and pedagogy. Staff are given generous time to develop their interest in both aspects of academic life.
We seek to appoint a lecturer to a teaching and research position in any area of expertise. We have particular interest in scholars whose research is relevant to some aspect of defence or national security policy. The successful applicant will be expected to deliver teaching in core undergraduate modules and support will be given to develop the required pedagogical expertise. There is an expectation that the appointee will demonstrate exceptional research potential.
