Academic
At the University of Leicester, you’ll find a thriving environment where innovation, collaboration, and professional growth are not just buzzwords, but cornerstones of our academic community.
Join a dynamic team of world-class researchers, experienced academics, and pedagogical experts, supported by a dedicated Professional Services Team, all united by a shared passion for the advancement of teaching and research.
We offer a transparent promotion process, personal development opportunities, mentoring, and rewards programs that will guide you towards professional fulfilment in all our career pathways, including teaching-focused, team research, and traditional teaching and research tracks.
We have academic career maps that articulate the expectations of academic staff at each stage of their academic career, and clearly establishes what they can do in order to progress their academic career. The maps seek to recognise the range of academic careers and allows for staff to build a case for promotion based on a range of areas of academic and university life.
Given our city’s history and ‘super diversity’, it is in many ways the perfect place for a university community – and this is reflected through the representation of ethnicities and nationalities across our staff and student communities. The University has been shaped by the diverse make-up of its locality – and has in turn shaped the city in which it is located – and this informs our approach to research, education, and engagement with our local community.
