Founded in 1948, the University of Strathclyde Business School (SBS) is a pioneering, internationally renowned academic organisation that shapes and develops the business minds of tomorrow.  Strathclyde Business School is one of four faculties forming the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow. The University was established in 1796 as 'the place of useful learning' and this remains at the forefront of our vision today for Strathclyde to be a leading international technological university that makes a positive difference to the lives of its students, to society and to the world.  We are a triple accredited Business School. We are the first in Scotland to hold this accolade and one of only 88 in the world (July 2018, MBA Today) to be triple accredited, holding accreditation from the international bodies, AMBA, AACSB and EQUIS.

The Department of Work Employment and Organisation (WEO) is one of 6 Departments within Strathclyde Business School (SBS). The Department delivers leading-edge, critical and policy-informing research in a Scottish, UK and international context across employment relations, HRM, work and organisational psychology, and organisation and management studies. The Department is home to three undergraduate programmes within SBS (HRM, Management, and Hospitality and Tourism Management) as well as three Masters programmes, two of which are CIPD accredited and another accredited by the British Psychological Society. It is also the location for the Scottish Centre for Employment Research (SCER) and the Centre for the Political Economy of Labour (CPEL). We contribute to faculty programmes such as the MBA and general management courses

The Department of WEO has broad research interests, and well-established teaching streams in HRM, International Business, Hospitality and Tourism Management. Our research interests span organisation and management studies, employment relations, and organisational behaviour and HRM. We are seeking an individual with a strong research, teaching and leadership record to join a young dynamic group of researchers in the areas of organisation and management studies who will contribute to teaching PGT and MBA programmes along with some UG teaching in Hospitality and Tourism Management and International Business. This will include contributions in the area of organisational development, leadership and change management.

In applying for this post as Senior Lecturer, you will have a PhD in a relevant discipline, be an experienced researcher and teacher with a track record in the delivery of high-quality research (evidenced through publications and research grant applications) and have experience of teaching and assessment, and leadership at undergraduate and postgraduate level. Your research interests will closely align with that of colleagues in the Department and will contribute to one or more of the major themes within our research portfolio (for example, leadership and organisation, organisational development, work, labour and globalisation; work, health and wellbeing; new technologies and work; workplace innovation; and voice and participation). The successful applicant will be encouraged to contribute to multidisciplinary research projects in the Business School and wider University and to engage in external funding applications. The successful applicant will be expected to contribute to the Business School’s future REF submission. In relation to teaching, we especially welcome interest in delivering modules across organisational change and development, and leadership.
