Job description

Associate Professor in Interdisciplinary Global Management

University College London (UCL) is a multi-faculty college of the University of London with over 52,000 students from more than 150 countries. It offers programmes in Arts and Humanities, Social and Historical Sciences, Education, Architecture, Environmental Design, Laws, Life Sciences, Clinical Sciences, Mathematical and Physical Sciences, and Engineering Sciences. UCL is ranked among the top universities globally, ranked 9th in the world in the QS World University Rankings 2025.

As London’s Global University, UCL values diversity as a driver of creativity and innovation. We are committed to equality, fairness, and inclusivity, and encourage applications from underrepresented groups, including Black, Asian, and minority ethnic backgrounds, disabled people, LGBTQI+ individuals, and women.

The UCL Arts and Sciences (UASc) department hosts the Bachelor of Arts and Sciences (BASc), the UK's leading interdisciplinary degree covering arts, social sciences, and sciences. The programme combines broad interdisciplinary study with specialization options and has a successful track record of graduates progressing to prestigious postgraduate programs and careers in leading organizations.

The degree structure includes a Core curriculum and four Pathways: Cultures, Science and Engineering, Sciences and Engineering, and Societies. Students select a major and minor pathway, with specific combinations as outlined.

We seek an Associate Professor with expertise in global management, capable of contributing to our modules and research with a focus on interdisciplinarity, including:

1. Integrating knowledge across fields such as social sciences, engineering, and arts to address global management challenges like economic growth and entrepreneurship.
2. Organizational behaviour, innovation, entrepreneurship, strategy, operations management, marketing, and analytics.
3. Interdisciplinary education and research that combine social sciences with rigorous methodologies and a global, inclusive perspective.

The successful candidate will co-convene key dissertation modules, develop new interdisciplinary modules, and serve as a Personal Academic Tutor for students on the Societies pathway. They will also conduct world-leading research, publish high-quality outputs, secure grants, develop networks, supervise PhD students, and seek funding opportunities.

This position is based at the Bloomsbury campus, with potential travel to UCL East. It is full-time, starting from 9 August 2025 or as soon as possible thereafter, and eligible for sponsorship under UK visa legislation.

Applicants must hold a PhD in an interdisciplinary area relevant to global management, with proven teaching, curriculum development, and research experience, including publications, grants, and leadership in research teams. Experience working across sciences, humanities, and social sciences, and mentoring students, is required.

During shortlisting, only CVs and cover letters will be reviewed, but shortlisted candidates may upload additional documents for the panel’s consideration.

• 41 days holiday (including annual leave, bank holidays, and closure days)
• Additional leave purchase scheme
• CARE pension scheme
• Cycle to work and season ticket loans
• Relocation support
• On-site gym
• Enhanced parental leave benefits
