This is a Teaching and Scholarship focused position, which offers an exceptional opportunity for a passionate teacher and educational leader to lead the development of our new Chartered Management Degree Apprenticeship/BSc Business Management (Social Change) programme, in liaison with leading UK charity partners, and to shape the teaching of non-profit management as a key area of provision within of our rapidly growing and distinctive management school.

Queen Mary University of London (QMUL)

QMUL has been recognised as a top 100 university in the Times Higher Education’s World University Rankings, and placed 9th in the UK among multi-faculty institutions in the 2014 Research Excellence Framework. It is the fourth largest college in the University of London and is growing rapidly through sustained investments in facilities on one of London’s largest campuses (Mile End), excellent research and improving the student experience. QMUL is a highly internationalised university, but with deep roots and continuing engagement with East London communities.

School of Business and Management

The School has been undergoing a period of rapid growth, doubling our number of academic staff over the last five years. We presently have around 80 academic staff, with more appointments in process. We have over 1200 undergraduate Business Studies students plus approximately 600 students taking business in combination with other degree subjects within QMUL. At the post-graduate level we have around 800 MSc students and a well-established doctoral programme of 60 doctoral students.

We are a distinctive School that takes a humanities and social science led approach to our scholarship. We are a non-departmentalised school within QMUL’s Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences (HSS), with its traditional strengths as a site of critical thinking in the humanities, law, history, geography and politics.

SBM recently re-committed to our core purpose, that is, to promote social justice, sustainability and good governance in the management of private, public and voluntary organisations through our research and education. We organise our activities thematically, cross-cutting traditional divisions between disciplinary departments.

The successful candidate should be able to contribute to, and lead, teaching on our undergraduate programmes and MSc programmes. The precise area of teaching focus will be negotiated based on the candidate’s expertise, but is likely to include areas such as non-profit/voluntary sector management and/or governance, social action, fundraising management and social impact evaluation. The post holder will assume the Programme Directorship of the Chartered Manager Degree Apprenticeship/BSc Business Management (Social Change) and provide a lead on the teaching of non-profit management and other management practice-related subjects in the School.

Candidates for the lectureship should have a completed doctorate (or have a doctorate under examination) by September 2019 and be able to demonstrate the capacity for excellent teaching in a UK university context and for driving innovation in teaching and learning. The successful applicant will already be an established academic and be expected to have a strong teaching leadership record. An experience of, and willingness to undertake administrative roles is essential at the senior lecturer level.

Colleagues on Teaching and Scholarship (T&S) contracts have access to a full range of professional development support, including an annual allowance to support their scholarship or pedagogical activities. Queen Mary recently revised the college’s promotion guidelines to provide comprehensive and clear promotion routes for T&S staff up to and including the academic rank of professor.

The post is full time and permanent. Applicants who wish to be considered for a job-share arrangement or for flexible working are welcome. Queen Mary is committed to improving the gender and cultural diversity of its workforce and welcomes applicants from all sections of the community.

Starting salary will be in the range £54,853 - £61,311 per annum inclusive of London Allowance and include 30 days annual leave, USS pension scheme membership, and interest-free travel season ticket loan.

Your application should include a CV plus evidence of your teaching (for example recent evaluations and teaching awards or other recognition).
