Our department

The Department of Management Science is seeking to grow our existing research in Operations Management and Supply Chains. In addition to growing the research activity in this area, we expect that the role will help the department accelerate our engagement with the National Manufacturing Institute of Scotland (NMIS) and the Glasgow City Innovation District (GCID). Our interest in operations & supply chain management covers a wide range of topics, including: operations strategy; service operations management; innovation in operations; new technology for operations; project management; performance measurement; enterprise resource planning; logistics optimisation and supply chain risk modelling.

The opportunity

We would love to hear from you if you have a PhD and postdoctoral research experience; an emerging publication history in high quality academic journals; and research interests which align with this area of strategic priority – particularly if you already hold an external fellowship that can be transferred to us.

The University of Strathclyde is a socially progressive institution that strives to ensure equality of opportunity and celebrates the diversity of its student and staff community.  Strathclyde is people-oriented and collaborative, offering a supportive and flexible working culture with a deep commitment to our equality, diversity and inclusion charters, initiatives, groups and networks.

You’ll be rewarded with:

• Growth of your research portfolio
• Reduced teaching load and limited administrative duties over the initial years of your Fellowship
• Support through our academic career development framework to gain feedback on your performance, meet y our training needs and enhance your effectiveness – allowing you to be ready for promotion within 5-years of your appointment
• Mentoring, to help you establish a balance of research, teaching, knowledge exchange and citizenship responsibilities while enhancing your leadership qualities to support your long-term career.

* Your Fellowship will normally be at lecturer level (exceptionally, at senior lecturer (Grade 9) (£56,048 - £63,059) where you have a strong track record in research leadership) for 5 years, with the expectation that you’ll meet our promotion criteria within that period and be transferred to senior lecturer (or, where you’ve been appointed as a senior lecturer, Reader) level.
