Alliance MBS plans to set up a FinTech research centre and thus the above characteristics and those described in the person specification will be invaluable to this initiative.

You will have to contribute to the development and delivery of excellent teaching. You will also be expected to teach a variety of undergraduate and graduate courses in a cross-disciplinary curriculum and work with colleagues to develop more content for new or existing FinTech courses.
