The Department of Engineering Science intends to appoint a full time Senior Research Fellow in Entrepreneurship, from September 2024, or earlier if possible.

There is a procedure to apply for title of Associate Professor (under the MPLS Procedure for Conferment of Title) and to apply for the title of Full Professor in due course.

The postholder will play a key role in the delivery of the EEM (Engineering, Entrepreneurship and Management) pathway.

EEM is run in partnership with the Saïd Business School and is a pathway through the MEng in Engineering Science degree. Over time, the department aims to increase entrepreneurial themes to all undergraduate and postgraduate students, including the development of masters-level programmes.

The postholder will be expected to conduct original research as well as apply for and obtain external funding to enable independent research activity in any area that falls within the scope of Oxford's Engineering Science Department; see the posted Job Description for additional details.

The postholder will report to the Head of Department and act as the leader of their research group, setting clear task objectives, developing productive working relations and line-managing the members of the team.
