The Fellowship is a fixed-term career development position specifically intended to provide a time-limited period of development for an early career academic. The College will arrange a mentor for the Fellow. The Fellow may undertake lecturing or examining for the Faculty of Law subject to an agreement being reached between the College, Faculty, and Fellow.

The Tutorial Fellow will be appointed on the University salary scale 7, in the range £36,024-£38,205 and will be enrolled as a member of the Universities Superannuation Scheme (USS).
