Assistant Professor in Business Analytics

Trinity Business School will celebrate its centenary in 2025. Since 2016, it has grown by over 150% and moved into a new eco-friendly state of the art building on campus, at the heart of Dublin neighboring major international business clusters, particularly in finance and digital business.  The School is Triple Accredited by AACSB, AMBA and EQUIS placing it amongst the top 1% of business schools in the World who have this accolade.  It also holds an Athena Swan Bronze Award in recognition of its achievement in the area of diversity.

The School recently launched its new strategy ‘Transforming Business for Good: Horizon 2030’ and is seeking to recruit academics to deliver the associated mission and key strategic objectives.  Therefore, as the School continues to develop, it is seeking to hire an Assistant Professor in Business Analytics to deliver and develop in the area of Business Analytics across the relevant activities of research, teaching and management/leadership. The Assistant Professor will also have a sufficient broad knowledge of business studies generally to be able contribute to some other – mostly introductory or intermediate - business courses beyond the area of Business Analytics.

Trinity Business School intends to hire an academic in the broad area of Business Analytics who has begun a research publication trajectory commensurate with an academic who aspires to have a substantial portfolio of research publications; particularly in terms of quality and relevance for real business.  In this regard, the Financial Times (FT) and Chartered Association of Business Schools journal rankings lists are the benchmarks for Trinity Business School.  Applicants with publications in the FTs’ list of preferred management research journals are particularly welcome.  While we are seeking to hire a rigorous researcher, we also require that this research expertise is of relevance and can provide value-added to senior executives and entrepreneurs as well as those engaged in public policy.  Therefore, evidence of engagement and impact with the business and public policy community (beyond academia) to include an understanding of the key challenges facing the relevant groups as well as an ability to communicate effectively with them are valuable attributes that we need to fulfil our mission.
