Job Description

Sheffield University Management School, the Faculty of Social Sciences’ largest department, has achieved accreditation from the three largest and most influential business school associations: AACSB, AMBA and EQUIS. The School therefore joins the top one per cent of business schools across the world – 59 globally and 14 in the UK – to be awarded the Triple Crown accreditation. The Management School operates within a University and Faculty with a world-class research reputation and ambition. As such, the School has cutting-edge research at the heart of its activities and as the base of its strategic focus. Our vision is to use this research base to be recognised as a leading international management school known for delivering an outstanding student experience and impactful socially-responsible research in a collegiate learning environment. We are proud to deliver intellectually rigorous cutting-edge research, and excellent teaching and learning in a stimulating, innovative environment. Through the distinctiveness of our graduates, excellence of our staff, and network of international partners, we seek to inform the practice of management, and to make a difference to our global community.

The mission of Sheffield University Management School is to develop knowledgeable and employable students, promote socially-responsible work practices and have a positive impact on organisations and society throughout the world. We sustain a research-intensive environment that creates, advances and disseminates knowledge with respect to management inquiry, for the benefit of students, private and public sector organisations and society in general. Our relocation to a fully refurbished building in June 2013 provides modern facilities in which to achieve our ambitions. We seek to create an environment in which all staff can develop their research interests through national and international collaboration, links with industry and commerce, conference attendance and seminar series. Promoting synergy between research and teaching is also a key objective.

We are pleased to announce that we have an opening for a Lecturer in Strategy and International Business (Job ref: UOS009098; closing date 2 October). In particular we welcome applications from candidates with expertise in one or more areas of emerging markets, mergers and acquisitions, corruption, strategic agility and organisational resilience.
