St Catharine’s College in the University of Cambridge seeks to appoint a Teaching and Research Fellow in Law. The post, which is designed as an early-career opportunity and is intended to enable the post-holder to devote substantial time to research while also contributing to the teaching of Law in the College, will be tenable from 1 October 2025 for a fixed period of five years.
