Lecturer in the Business School (focus on Economics)

Liverpool Hope Business School is an AACSB accredited ambitious and aspiring international business school with a strong collegial focus renowned for educational excellence in Business Management, Marketing, Leadership, Economics and Accounting and Finance. The Business school is a strategically important area of development within Liverpool Hope University.  We deliver innovative research-informed programmes at undergraduate, postgraduate and executive levels with a focus on ethical and sustainable businesses. At postgraduate level, the School currently has an International MBA, and MA programmes in Marketing Management and Global Operations Management & Logistics. We are in the process of validating an MA in Sustainable Business. The Business School also houses SEARCH, the University’s Socio-Economic and Applied Research Centre, which, among other things, explores the socio-economic impacts of businesses on society. 

Applications are invited from outstanding candidates with research interests, a track record of publishing and sound plans for future research, and teaching experience in the broad field of Economics—preferably in the field of Macroeconomics. The person appointed will be expected to contribute to the delivery of the Economics and Finance programmes at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels.

The successful candidate will be required to have a doctoral qualification in the broad area of Economics. An exception to this would be candidates who are expected to have their VIVA imminently, or those who have passed their VIVA subject to minor corrections. In addition to the PhD, candidates should provide evidence of a sound research plan by providing a record of actual or planned outputs.

The post is permanent, subject to the normal probationary period of twelve months.
