UK context

I hold a PhD in Law (2025), specialising in socio-legal studies. I’ve since returned to practice, but I find myself missing academia. I’m currently undertaking some adjunct teaching at the university where I completed my PhD, while also applying for academic positions.

Given the current state of the academic job market, I’ve found it difficult to gain traction, I haven’t secured another interview since my first (unsuccessful) attempt.

I would really appreciate any advice or insights on navigating a return to academia in the present climate.
