The Department of Management is looking to recruit two full-time Lecturers to contribute to our research culture and teaching portfolio in the areas of Operations Management and/or Supply Chain Management. We encourage candidates with research interests and expertise in sustainability; circular economy; and/or digital innovations.

The successful candidates will be research active academics who enjoy working in a dynamic, multidisciplinary environment. Candidates are expected to demonstrate ability to publish in internationally rated journals at the level of ABS 3, 4, and 4*. In addition to publications, applicants should demonstrate potential to generate income through external funding and impact on policy and practice.

The successful applicants are expected to have an enthusiasm for teaching and for collaborating with colleagues to deliver teaching in teams. They are expected to teach modules broadly related to operations management and supply chain management; and to enrich our teaching portfolios (including our online taught programmes) by drawing upon their research.  

The successful candidates will be encouraged to develop innovative research and teaching strands (in line with Sussex’s ambitions), collaborate with other researchers in the School, including in the Digital Futures at Work Research Center. Successful candidates can expect to enjoy protected research time (see below), a range of opportunities to secure internal research funds and support, and a wide range of teaching and development training.

Informal enquiries may be made with the Head of Department, Professor Frank Bond F.Bond@sussex.ac.uk
