This is an exciting moment to join the University of Leicester School of Business (ULSB) School of Business (ULSB). We are making a significant investment in a number of new academic posts across our four schools: Accounting and Finance, Economics, Management, and Marketing and Strategy. These appointments will strengthen our capacity to deliver excellent education, internationally relevant research and meaningful engagement with business, policy and society.
These posts reflects confidence in the future and a clear commitment to building on the strengths of ULSB going forwards. Our focus is on investing carefully, growing sustainably and creating opportunities for talented academics who want to contribute to a distinctive, ambitious and supportive academic community.
ULSB is a vibrant, interdisciplinary and international community of nearly 300 academic and professional services colleagues and around 5,000 students. Our work spans accounting and finance, economics, management, marketing and strategy, bringing together colleagues with expertise across the full range of business disciplines. We are a forward-looking business school with a strong sense of social purpose, committed to rigorous research, excellent teaching and positive impact. Our research is organised around areas of strength and includes research centres focussed on healthcare innovation, finance, governance and sustainable growth, and choice and behavioural research.
Our home at Brookfield provides a dedicated campus for the School of Business, close to the main University campus and the city centre. Following a major redevelopment, Brookfield offers high-quality learning and teaching facilities, study spaces, offices and shared areas that bring staff and students together as a community. It is a setting that combines heritage with modern facilities and supports the kind of collaboration, creativity and collegiality that we value.
Equally important is the culture we are continuing to build. The School is committed to equality, diversity and inclusion for all staff and students, and is proud to hold an Athena Swan Bronze Award. We want colleagues to feel able to bring their experience, ideas and ambitions to the School, and to be part of an environment where people are supported to develop, collaborate and make a difference.
These new posts are an opportunity to help shape the next phase of the College of Business. We are seeking academics who are intellectually curious, committed to high-quality education and research, and motivated by the chance to work across disciplinary and organisational boundaries. Whether your strengths lie in research, teaching, enterprise, leadership or engagement, we want to hear from people who share our ambition to build a business school that is rigorous, inclusive, relevant and future-facing.
If you are looking for a place where your work can have impact, where your contribution will be valued, and where you can be part of a significant and carefully considered period of growth, we would welcome your application.
