The University of Liverpool Management School (ULMS) seeks to appoint an outstanding academic leader as Subject Group Head and Chair, Organisation and Management.
Led by its recently appointed Director, Professor Julia Balogun, the School sits in the top 5% of business schools globally and is well positioned to enhance its national and international standing as it moves into its next phase of development, giving particular emphasis to developing the volume and reach of its world-class research activity
AACSB accredited and with its full-time MBA ranked in the Economist top 100, ULMS has 150 academic staff who enjoy a strongly collegial, research-supportive, and intellectually vibrant interdisciplinary environment. Well-connected with industry and the professions, the School's research activity and external relationships have clear real-world impact. Later this year the School will move into its new extension in the Georgian quarter of Liverpool with state of the art facilities including a trading room and a marketing suite.
Student numbers, calibre and satisfaction are high with a strong PhD cohort. In addition to the main Liverpool campus, ULMS offers a range of City-relevant programmes at its London campus in Finsbury Square, including a CFA recognised Masters in Finance and Investment Management, and significant online provision, as well as programme and research collaborations with its international partner, the International Business School, Suzhou (the Business School at Xi'an Jiaotong-Liverpool University, near Shanghai).
In its wider University setting, the School benefits not just from connections with key research institutes (the Institute of Risk and Uncertainty, and the Heseltine Institute of Public Policy) and the on-going development of the University under the Vice-Chancellor, Professor Janet Beer, but from its location in a city which combines strong cultural activity, excellent transport links, and regional beauty with a world heritage skyline and is highly ranked on quality of life in the UK, while remaining one of Britain's most affordable cities.
Reporting to Professor Balogun, and serving on the School Management Team, the Subject Group Head will provide strong research leadership across the Group, which has an exceptional cadre of early career researchers working alongside a number of internationally renowned research scholars. The Head will develop priorities, set high expectations, and ensure support for researchers at all career stages, and will take responsibility for the delivery of a high quality, research-led curriculum and for the development of undergraduate and postgraduate students as global citizens, as well as leading on recruitment for the Group.
The key requirements of the role are: excellent research leadership abilities; an outstanding track-record of publications in one or more of Strategy, International Business or Management, and Entrepreneurship; a strong network of contacts in the international academic community; and, success in research-led curriculum development, and in delivering and overseeing the provision of high quality teaching programmes.
The appointee will be recognised internationally as a leader in their field and will be expected to bring outstanding research and education contributions to the Group.
The role of Subject Group Head will be for five years initially and will be offered in combination with a permanent post at Professorial level. Salary will be internationally competitive, commensurate with the appointee's accomplishment and potential.
Formal interviews will take place at the University on Thursday, 13 October 2016.
