For over 400 years Gresham College has provided free public lectures, seminars and conferences in the City of London.

Applications are now invited for the post of Gresham Professor of Law. The current incumbent is Professor Sir Geoffrey Nice QC, whose term of appointment is nearing its end.

Applications are invited from legal practitioners and/or legal academics with expertise in areas ranging from legal history to current issues in the legal arena. The Professor of Law must be able to present to a wide audience who will not normally be legal professionals or academics but informed people with a thirst for knowledge including law and legal issues.

The appointment is part-time from 1 August 2016 and normally for three years. Gresham Professors must present six one-hour lectures each academic year. Attendance at Academic Board meetings four times per year and some social events is also expected. Gresham lectures attract large audiences and are recorded, archived and made available through the internet, so candidates should have an interest in communicating their subject to a wide audience. An annual fee of £6,900 will be paid by the College.
