**This post is full time and permanent, working 35 hours per week.**

Our University is a place where discoveries are made, barriers are broken, diversity is celebrated and where everyone is welcome.

Westminster Business School is embarking on an exciting development journey and is seeking to recruit 34 academics. With 7000 students from all over the world we are one of the largest Business Schools in London and have a global perspective. We are inclusive and innovative, inspiring students and colleagues to realise their full potential, driving social mobility and making the world more sustainable, healthier and better place.

Based in the heart of the capital’s political, media and financial services, Westminster Business School (WBS) has excellent industry links and global partnerships. We offer a wide range of undergraduate, postgraduate, executive and short courses, preparing students to be responsible leaders and managers.

You will be based at the University’s Marylebone site, opposite Baker Street Station, centrally located and immersed in London’s business community. It offers opportunities for staff and students to work closely with outside organisations in the private, public and not-for-profit sectors.

The post sits within the **School of Organisations, Economy and Society**, a constituent part of Westminster Business School. You will become part of a community of around 70 academic staff and 1500 students.

The economics group consists of around 30 staff, including 3 Professors and 2 Readers, and is one of the most research active in the business school. We host the 15-year-old Centre for Employment Research (CER) as well as two further research groups: Global Economic Policy Group (GEPG) and Westminster Development Policy Network (WDPN).

We have a thriving portfolio of undergraduate and postgraduate courses in Economics. We are looking to recruit a creative, effective and innovative individual who can teach on our economics courses. You would also be expected to be research active in international trade, economics or financial economics. As a Lecturer, you will be expected to take on leadership roles at module level as determined by the needs of the School.

You will hold a post-graduate degree or professional qualification in a relevant area, will have teaching experience and ideally hold a teaching qualification or HEA Fellowship, show evidence of the ability to produce research publications and have a good personal reputation and professional standing.
