Lecturer / Reader in Management Science & Innovation 
FACULTY POSITIONS IN THE DEPARTMENT OF MANAGEMENT SCIENCE AND INNOVATION AT UNIVERSITY COLLEGE LONDON 
Closing date: 17th December 2007

As part of a continuing expansion in the fields of technology entrepreneurship and innovation management, University College London (UCL) seeks to appoint committed, dynamic and self-motivated faculty members to full-time academic positions in the new Department of Management Science & Innovation. Based in the Faculty of Engineering Sciences we are building a world-class Department of scholars/teachers who focus on linking innovative research and teaching to emerging technology companies. The Department offers innovative undergraduate, postgraduate and doctoral programmes to prepare leaders for the next generation of technology intensive organisations and for academic careers in leading universities.

The new Department is the UCL partner in the growing strategic alliance between UCL and the London Business School. The alliance capitalises on research and educational synergies between these two world-class institutions. 

We are recruiting faculty members who have fresh and radical ideas regarding research and teaching that links cutting-edge science and engineering with entrepreneurial businesses to deliver major societal benefits. We seek to appoint one tenure-track colleague at the rank of Lecturer (i.e. Assistant Professor), although we will also consider more senior tenured candidates at the level of Reader (i.e., Associate Professor). Compensation is competitive and appropriate to academic rank. Research facilities and support are excellent. 

Applicants must demonstrate the ability to carry out internationally recognised research and will be expected to seek external research funding. We will consider applications from outstanding individuals with proven (or promising) expertise and publication records in areas such as: entrepreneurship, technology and innovation management, management of high-growth business, or operations research. We value applications from discipline-based scholars able to apply theories and methods from, for example, organisational behaviour, strategic management, industrial engineering/operations management, psychology, sociology, economics or political science.
