About you

The ideal candidate will hold a relevant master’s degree in a field related to business and management, economics, psychology, or technology innovation. They will have experience teaching undergraduate and/or postgraduate students, as well as supervising dissertations at either level.

The role requires a strong ability to relate theoretical concepts to real-world business and management practice.

A commitment to maintaining up-to-date professional knowledge through interaction with academic and professional journals—ideally with a focus on technology and innovation—is also essential.

We therefore particularly encourage applications from candidates who are likely to be underrepresented in UCL’s workforce.
