She is the Co-Director of the Centre for European and Public Law (CEPL) and former Co-Director of the Centre for Law at Work (CLAW) at the University of Bristol Law School, Co-Editor in Chief of the German Law Journal (GLJ) and a national expert of the European Equality Law Network (EELN).
She is a European Comparative lawyer focusing on the European influences on national systems of law and how it can challenge structural inequality and injustice. Her monograph entitled EU Non-Discrimination law in the Courts: Approaches to Sex and Sexuality Discrimination in EU law was published with Hart Publishing in 2017.

Currently, Jule is exploring the EU concept of vulnerability as a cross-sectional concept to recognise and address injustice and exploitation. The research was funded by the Leverhulme Trust.
Jule welcomes PhD applications in European law, Comparative law, Employment and Equality law.
