With continued growth across the Faculty of Business & Economics, we are seeking to attract ambitious, collegial, and research-active academics shaping interdisciplinary research to join us as part of a new cohort of up to eight appointments across three of our seven academic departments (as below).

These roles are aligned with our refreshed strategic direction and are designed to strengthen collaborative, interdisciplinary research and teaching across the themes of:

  • Servitisation and Sustainable Market Transitions

As we prioritise growing our capacity and reputation in these key areas, we are open to making appointments across the academic range from Lecturer to Associate Professor as appropriate and in accordance with our Academic Standards Policy which informs appointment and promotions processes.

Successful candidates will be motivated by interdisciplinary opportunities and thrive in their home departments.
