As a result of continued investment, Birmingham Law School invites applications for two Chairs. One is in Commercial Law, broadly defined. The other will be in association with the newly established Centre for Professional Legal Education and Research (CEPLER), and is open to scholars specialising in any legal or legally-related area of work.

Both posts are tenable from 1 September 2012 or as soon as possible thereafter. It may also be possible to arrange earlier start dates in appropriate cases.

Birmingham Law School is committed to the highest quality in research and teaching. It encourages a full range of perspectives and methods (eg doctrinal, comparative, socio-legal, theoretical) in all its work. The School regards research and teaching as inextricably linked and mutually reinforcing.

Closing date: 2 March 2012.
