Role Overview

We are seeking an Associate Professor (Teaching) focused on societal impact — an exciting leadership role that puts influence and real-world contribution at the heart of business education.

In this role you will:

• Take strategic leadership in defining and embedding societal impact across teaching, engagement, and academic initiatives.
• Coordinate and champion the School’s activities related to social impact, locally and internationally.
• Lead and design initiatives that deepen the School’s contribution to community, policy, and practice.
• Support academic activities such as dissertation supervision, personal tutoring, and citizenship roles within the School and UCL.
• This is a teaching/education track role (distinct from research-focused academic posts), ideal for candidates passionate about shaping programs and experiences that matter.

What We Are Looking For

You will have:

• A PhD (or equivalent) in business, management, or a closely related field.
• Demonstrable leadership experience in societal impact — ideally within a business school or comparable environment.
• A strong record of high-quality teaching across diverse student groups, supported by excellent evaluations.
• A genuine commitment to equality, diversity, and inclusion, and the ability to forge supportive and collaborative relationships.

Application Process

To apply, please submit:

• A one-page cover letter summarising your fit for this role and your vision for societal impact in management education.
• A brief CV tailored to the role (please do not include degree certificates, publications, or other attachments).
