  • Engage senior professionals, including directors and board members, delivering learning that is both academically grounded and practically relevant.
  • Contribute to the strategic development of the Governance Group and wider department.
  • Collaborate across disciplines while maintaining independent scholarly leadership.
  • Interviews will include a formal presentation delivered on the day.

What We’re Looking For

You will bring:

  • A proven record of publication in high-ranking international journals.
  • Evidence of sustained research excellence and a clear trajectory of future outputs.
  • Outstanding executive-level teaching experience.
  • The interpersonal confidence to engage experienced and high-performing senior participants.
  • A collaborative mindset, alongside the ability to work autonomously.
  • A genuine commitment to academic citizenship and intellectual community-building.
