Abertay is a modern university with a global outlook, rooted in its local and national communities. We have made our mark with high quality, well-directed teaching and research, and a stimulating and enriching experience for our students.
The Faculty of Design, Informatics and Business is the home of Abertay’s degree programmes in law, accounting and finance, business and marketing, cybersecurity, applied computer science, computer games and digital arts. Abertay was the first University in the world to offer degrees in Computer Games Technology and Ethical Hacking, and we are recognised as leaders internationally in games and nationally in cybersecurity. With the addition of Dundee Business School into the Faculty, we are now extending our academic team to develop our national and international standing.
Reporting to the Head of the Dundee Business School, you will contribute to the excellent teaching experience and impactful research and knowledge exchange within the law subject area. Specifically, we looking to appoint a Part-time Lecturer who can contribute to the delivery of our LLB and LLB (Hons) programmes which are accredited by the Law Society of Scotland and the Faculty of Advocates. We are particularly interested in interviewing candidates with an interest in teaching a range of core Scottish law modules such as Criminal law and Evidence, Delict and Evidence, Business Transactions, Business Organisations and Property. Experience in legal practice in Scotland will be an advantage, as is teaching the above-mentioned modules at tertiary level in Scotland. A Scottish law LLB or LLB (Hons) is an essential requirement.
Our programmes have a strong emphasis on the development of transferable skills along with the academic discipline of law. As this is a 0.4 FTE part-time appointment (which may be split into two positions), the role is flexible and may be built around the successful candidate’s needs and current commitments. We welcome applications from members of the Scottish legal profession. This, therefore, is an excellent opportunity for the successful candidate to contribute to the further development of the Law subject area and the Dundee Business School. Informal enquiries about the position may be directed to Professor McKay, at a.mckay@abertay.ac.uk.
