University of Liverpool
Two Professorial Appointments in Organisation Behaviour / Organisation Theory / Organisation Studies / Human Resources Management in the Management School
The University of Liverpool Management School (ULMS) sits in the top 5% of business schools globally. Led by its newly appointed Director, Professor Julia Balogun, the School, it 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, significant online provision, and innovative initiatives such as a new Executive Masters in Innovation Leadership 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 new 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.
The School is ambitious to continue to build its research capacity at the highest international levels. With an exceptional cadre of early career researchers working alongside a number of internationally renowned research scholars, the School now intends to appoint a number of full Professors who will not only be marked by their own research accomplishment and activity (publishing in world-class journals and recognised internationally as leaders in their fields) but who will be given the opportunity and support to contribute to the articulation and realisation of the School's research ambition. In addition to appointments in other areas (Finance), two full Professors will be appointed in Organisation Behaviour / Organisation Theory / Organisation Studies / Human Resources Management.

Salaries will be internationally competitive, commensurate with the appointees' accomplishment and potential.
The deadline for applications for these positions is Friday 8th April 2016. Formal interviews for the Professors in OB/OT/OS/HRM will be held on Wednesday 22nd and Thursday 23rd June 2016.
