As part of our growth strategy we are seeking inspirational and highly motivated individuals to contribute to the development of the Department’s research, teaching and learning activities. We welcome discussions with prospective candidates who have interests in specified areas of information systems and information technology such as digital transformation and business intelligence (see further details).

You must also be able to demonstrate an established or emerging path of research with links to teaching and learning, and engagement with external stakeholders. We are especially looking for people with a ‘hands-on’ and ‘can-do’ attitude.

You will be appointed in the Operations and Information Management Department (OIM) at a Lecturer or Senior Lecturer level depending on your skills and experience. The department has three teaching groups: Global ICT/IS Management, Business Analytics, and Operations Management. In addition, we have four research centres: Advanced Services, Cybersecurity, Circular Economy, and Crises Management. We are planning to launch another research centre in Business Analytics in the near future. 

There is a thriving teaching and learning, business engagement and research culture in the Department, which has a strong reputation for being rigorous, relevant and entrepreneurial. We support participation in international conferences, teaching innovations and supervision of PhD/DBAs, and we encourage business engagement and corporate client opportunities.
