Published 4 February 2010
Ref: A007
£36,532 - £43,622
Closing date 12 February 2010
Lancaster University Management School (LUMS) is an international research leader in business and management. We are triple-accredited (EQUIS, AACSB and AMBA) and consistently ranked in the UK's top five business schools.
As part of our continuing commitment to research, we are offering the opportunity to work with world class academics in a dynamic research community. LUMS is seeking to recruit an outstanding and enthusiastic scholar to their recently awarded ESRC Management and Business Development (MBD) Fellowship in Knowledge Management. The fellowship is designed to provide an entry pathway to an academic position in management and business studies.
This post is aimed at talented individuals at an early to mid career level who have between five and fifteen years active experience after completing the minimum of an undergraduate degree. You may have started either a professional career in business or management, or an academic research career in a different discipline, but should now be seeking to make a career change into a research active management and business academic career. You will be expected to demonstrate the potential to develop excellent research skills in management and business; the potential for publishing success in high quality peer reviewed journals; the potential to provide high quality research-led teaching to a variety of students (undergraduate, postgraduate taught, postgraduate research and executive clients); and the commitment to developing an academic career in their relevant field.
If you are converting from professional practice, you will develop a research programme and undertake appropriate skills training, with a view to achieving a doctorate in management and business within a three year fellowship period. By the end of the period you will be expected to have completed a range of research related courses commensurate with their doctoral studies, progressed through two doctoral annual reviews, and be close to submission. If you are converting from a different discipline, you will be expected already hold a Doctorate. During the Fellowship period of two years, a substantive research project should be completed, alongside a specified programme of training and development. In both cases you should be developing an ongoing research agenda; and should successfully gain incremental teaching and academic administrative experience sufficient to contribute to the overall aims of the Department and Faculty and to meet the terms of probation.
Your designated mentor will be Professor Mark Easterby-Smith, who will agree the final work programme, as well as provide guidance on both topic-specific and career development issues. The mentor will act in a supervisory or advisory capacity with regard to a PhD project as part of the Fellowship.
General enquiries should be directed to Professor Mark Easterby-Smith (Associate Dean for Enterprise and Third Mission) at m.easterby-smith@lancaster.ac.uk, +44 (0) 1524 510694.
