As a Lecturer/Senior Lecturer, you will:
1. Deliver innovative, engaging teaching at undergraduate and postgraduate levels, supporting students to develop as critical, creative and industry-ready professionals.

4. Contribute to the vibrant research and knowledge exchange culture within the Institute, producing high-quality outputs and engaging with external stakeholders to develop impactful partnerships.
5. Supervise undergraduate and postgraduate research students and support the wider academic community through mentoring, collaboration, and inclusive teamworking.

We welcome applications from individuals with:
6. A strong academic background in marketing, with a focus on consumer behaviour.
7. Experience in teaching and curriculum development in higher education.
8. A research profile aligned with marketing, consumer insight or related fields, with evidence of research outputs or the potential to deliver them.
9. A commitment to inclusive, student-centred education and a passion for supporting student success.
10. The ability to engage and collaborate with industry to enhance teaching, research and employability outcomes.
