We are looking for a committed and enthusiastic academic to join Edinburgh Law School as an Early Career Fellow in EU Law. This is a fixed term post available until the 31st March 2026.

The successful candidate should have advanced subject knowledge of EU law and will have either completed a PhD (or be very close to completion) in EU law or have equivalent professional experience. They will be expected to develop and execute a realistic and achievable research plan, and to play a full part in the collegiate life of the EU Law Subject Area and Edinburgh Law School.

The successful candidate will have a strong commitment to promoting the student experience and will contribute to undergraduate and postgraduate teaching, assessment, and supervision in the EU Law subject area, especially in EU constitutional law.

Edinburgh Law School is an international, vibrant community dedicated to research and teaching with local and global reach and diverse impacts. Our Law School would not be the community it is without our staff and students, and we welcome applications from under-represented groups.

As well as a CV and cover letter, applicants are required to upload an outline (maximum 2 pages) of their research plans as part of the application process. Applicants are also asked to identify their two strongest publications (which may include work under review or accepted but not published, such as a PhD thesis chapter) and explain why – in their view – these publications are both original and significant (a form is provided to facilitate the completion of this step).
