Job description
King’s Business School, King’s College London, is looking for a Lecturer (equivalent Assistant Professor) in the fields of Strategy, International Management or Entrepreneurship to join our Strategy, International Management and Entrepreneurship (SIME) Department, ideally from 1 September 2024.
King’s College London (KCL) is one of the world’s leading universities, presently ranked 38th globally by the Times Higher Education. Founded in 1829, it now is a home to more than 35,000 students from 150 countries.
King’s Business School is located at KCL’s Strand Campus in central London, permitting it to draw on the limitless energies of London’s businesses, policymakers, entrepreneurs, and change-makers. It is an exciting place for collaboration and innovation to produce outstanding research and social impact. Founded in 2017, KBS has achieved “triple crown” status with AACSB, AMBA and EQUIS accreditations.
Over 90 per cent of King’s Business School’s research output has been judged ‘world leading’ or ‘internationally excellent’ by the 2021 Research Excellence Framework (REF). The School was one of the ten highest scoring institutions for business and management studies overall and ranks fourth on its research environment.
The SIME Department has a strong research reputation in developing theory, methods, and knowledge to advance our understanding of business, innovation, and entrepreneurial activity in an international institutional context. Within KBS, the SIME Department delivered the strongest REF returns.
Research comprises four core themes: (1) international business, comparative management, and strategy, (2) global strategies for sustainability and corporate social responsibility, (3) knowledge-intensive firms, innovation, and appropriability, and (4) entrepreneurship from a comparative and social dimension. The SIME Department has built extensive research networks through international academic collaborations, and it has a strong commitment to developing research impact through links with policymakers and practitioners. Department members regularly publish in leading journals in management, international business, entrepreneurship, and innovation. The Department is home to two Fellows of the Academy of International Business, a Fellow of the British Academy of Management, and a Fellow of the International Association of Applied Psychology.
Our future colleague will be an aspiring scholar with a strong research pipeline showing the potential to publish her/his work in world-leading, relevant journals. We offer a reduced teaching load and a generous research funds package.
The Department provides support for a large undergraduate programme and hosts three highly successful MScs, one in International Management, another in Strategic Entrepreneurship and Innovation, and a third in Medical Technology (MedTech) Innovation and Entrepreneurship in collaboration with the School of Biomedical Engineering and Imaging Sciences (Faculty of Life Sciences and Medicine). Our future colleague will be involved in these programs.
