About the University
York St John is an ambitious, modern university with a distinctive presence across both the historic city of York and London. Our London campus plays an important role in extending the University’s reach, global engagement, and academic innovation, alongside our established foundation in York. Central to our ambition across both campuses is an unwavering commitment to academic excellence.
As one of the fastest-growing universities in the UK in recent years, we have developed a new strategy for the next decade. This strategy emphasises our commitment to widening opportunity through the power of education and contributing our talents to the creation of a fairer world and more prosperous regions. Inspirational learning and impactful research are at the heart of this vision, with our academic expertise recognised as our greatest asset.
York St John is committed to building diverse academic leadership and particularly welcomes applications from women and groups currently underrepresented at professorial level in Business and Management.
During a period of significant change across the higher education sector, York Business School and our London Campus have expanded their portfolio of programmes designed to prepare both domestic and international students for successful professional careers. Fundamental to our ethos is the development of the individual, the creation of supportive academic communities, and close collaboration with the business community to build lasting partnerships and produce distinctive, career‑ready graduates.
York Business School and the London Campus benefit from a vibrant and supportive research culture. A substantial proportion of staff are research-active, with the School and Campus supporting a number of research groups. Research activity is firmly anchored within Business and Management Studies (Unit of Assessment 17), with established strengths in business and social justice, sustainable tourism and heritage development, healthcare management, sustainable transformation of the cultural industries, and rural business resilience. We have strong regional, national and international collaborations and a growing research profile.
The Role
We are seeking senior professorial appointments to strengthen our research environment, support collective research development, and enhance our growing reputation for internationally recognised research. The primary purpose of the role is to provide senior research leadership, experience and expertise to strengthen the University’s research environment and to support the development of internationally excellent research within Unit of Assessment 17 (Business and Management Studies), including in preparation for REF 2029.

Postholders will be expected to work closely with School Research Leads across both sites, contribute to relevant School and Campus research committees, and support the delivery of agreed research actions, including the development of research events and conferences.
