Manchester, United Kingdom Manchester Metropolitan University Full time

Professor – Faculty of Business & Law
To lead our continuing growth as a global research and education institution, we are committed to expanding our professoriate across areas of research strength and to achieve real-world impact. If you have the ability, confidence, and determination to drive groundbreaking research in your area, this is your chance to join us within our Faculty of Business & Law.

About Manchester Met
With over 5,100 staff members across the university, and around 43,000 students – we are a big institution with even bigger ambitions. We are proud to be at the heart of one of Europe's most diverse and vibrant cities, and with shared traditions of industry, innovation and inclusivity, our impact reaches around the globe.

We are committed to providing excellent education to transform our students' lives, and to delivering high quality research with powerful real-world impacts and benefits, as evidenced by our highly successful REF outcome: 30% of our research, across more than 740 academics, has been rated as world leading. And 91% of our research impact is world leading or internationally excellent (REF 2021).

About the opportunity
We are particularly interested in applications from candidates with a track record of excellent research in one of the following areas: Enterprise & Entrepreneurship, Digital Marketing, International Business, and Finance. In all cases, when you join us you will be a research leader in a triple-accredited Business School which is home to one of the largest and most powerful UK communities of business and management researchers. Our research environment was ranked as top quartile in REF 2021 and is distinguished by its commitment to nurturing early and mid-career researchers through a culture of collaboration and mentorship.

Our research is internationally recognised for shaping government thinking and influencing key legislative and strategic initiatives across multiple sectors. In decent work and productivity, we have informed policies to improve workplace standards and practices. In place management, we have been instrumental in the revitalisation of cities and communities, particularly through our leadership of the UK Government's £8.6 million High Streets Task Force. Sustainability research includes a recent £1m+ ERSC grant to investigate projects and organisations that bring environmental benefits where social justice and wellbeing are central. In knowledge exchange, our Centre of Enterprise has secured approximately £40m in funding over recent years, supporting more than 2,000 SMEs in adopting emerging technologies to boost productivity and creating 500+ new jobs.

You will have the freedom to tailor your development and build your academic reputation. Alongside expanding on your own vision and expertise, you will play a key role in mentoring others; promoting a cooperative, intellectually curious research culture; and, as a member of the leadership community, supporting our long-term research strategy to enrich students' lives while having a positive effect on our world. You can count on our full support – from the financial backing you need to start your research in Manchester, to the collegiate atmosphere and extraordinary quality of life that Manchester Metropolitan can offer.

For more information, please .

About you
As an inspiring and driven researcher, you are full of ideas and excited about having the scope and support to build on them. With in-depth understanding of your subject, we would expect you to have an international reputation as a thought leader in your field.

We are looking for a sustained track record of delivering high quality research outputs and securing external funding of significant value. You will ideally have a PhD and must also have made significant contributions in academic leadership. Your experience should also cover effective and innovative research-informed teaching and assessment practices that provide a stimulating environment for learning, plus support and supervision of undergraduate/postgraduate students (as well as successful outcomes for PhD students/project staff).

If your vision and ambition matches ours, we would welcome your application.

Interview Date – Thursday 6 March 2025.

Applications must be made via our recruitment portal and should include a full CV and a letter of application setting out your interest in the role and details of how your knowledge, skills and experience match the essential criteria being sought.

Manchester Metropolitan University is committed to supporting the rights, responsibilities, dignity, health and wellbeing of staff and students through our commitment to equality, diversity and inclusion.

We promote applications from all sections of the community, irrespective of background, belief or identity, recognising the benefits that a diverse organisation can bring. We particularly encourage applications from Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic candidates, women and disabled people, who we recognise are underrepresented in this area.

We recognise the benefits and importance of an environment that supports flexible working and are open to conversations about this throughout the application process.
