Lecturer/Senior Lecturer in Digital Futures

The School of Management at the University of Bath is inviting applications for Lecturer/Assistant Professor or Senior Lecturer/Associate Professor (Research & Teaching) to work within the Information, Decisions and Operations (IDO) Division. 

The IDO Division consists of around 35 faculty with diverse research portfolios, with this post particular focused on those working in the sociotechnical and digital futures landscape, including behavioural and data science (see for example David Ellis ), information systems (see for example Joanne Hinds ) and human aspects of technology/cyber security (see for example Adam Joinson ). For a look at the kind of work we do within the division as a whole, see the IDO website , Centre for Smart Warehousing and Logistics Systems , Centre for Research and Evidence on Security Threats , and Centre for Healthcare Innovation and Innovation . 

Bath School of Management is one of the highest-ranking management schools in Europe in terms of both its research and education. Research support includes funding for conference attendance, data collection and research visits; a dedicated grant support team; and generous research allowances within our workload. 

The IDO Division has excellent industry and academic networks which support a thriving and highly collegiate environment. Our probation system offers Lecturers/Assistant Professors the possibility to obtain tenure after three years. Requirements for tenure (and promotion) focus on the quality of research outputs and teaching delivery, and are comparable to other top business schools. 

For this post, we are particularly keen to recruit scholars from any discipline that encompasses the sociotechnical/digital futures landscape (e.g., information systems, social science, human computer interaction, data science). We place value on researchers that engage in significant, real-world, business, and social challenges.  

We will appoint at the appropriate spine point in grade 8 or 9 depending on appointment to the role of Lecturer or Senior Lecturer.

It is anticipated that the successful candidate will take up role in September 2024.

In addition to the research role, you will contribute to our range of highly rated undergraduate and postgraduate offerings. The Division’s teaching portfolio includes specialist MSc programmes in Innovation and Technology Management; Business Analytics; Operations, Logistics and Supply Chain Management; and Engineering and Business Management, as well as more general management undergraduate and MBA programmes. As we grow our portfolio of on-line delivery, we are also interested in candidates who have experience in designing and delivering via digital channels.
