About the School

The UCL School of Management is UCL’s centre for business and management education, widely recognised for outstanding strengths in innovation, entrepreneurship, analytics, and leadership within technology-driven organisations. Our programmes attract a highly international student body of more than 2,000 learners, and our faculty represent leading institutions across the globe.

The School’s research achievements were acknowledged in the REF 2021, where it ranked 2nd in the UK for Business and Management. We are accredited by AACSB and AMBA, and benefit from deep interdisciplinary partnerships across UCL—including collaborations with departments in engineering, computer science, psychology, public policy, and medical sciences.

The Opportunity

We are seeking an Associate Professor (Teaching) with expertise in societal impact to take a leading role in strengthening how the School integrates societal value into all aspects of its work.

This post offers the chance to:

• Lead new initiatives that advance the School’s contribution to societal good, both locally in London and globally
• Contribute to student development through supervision, personal tutoring, and wider School citizenship roles

The School is undergoing significant planned growth, including an expansion of degree offerings and faculty numbers, as part of a five-year strategy. This role is central to ensuring that our programmes develop ethically minded, socially responsible graduates prepared to address global challenges.

Important notes:

• This post is part of the Education/Teaching track, not the research academic pathway.
• Applications should include a 1-page cover letter and a short, relevant CV only.
• Do not upload publications or additional documents.

• Demonstrated experience leading or contributing to societal impact initiatives within a business school or similar environment
• A strong record of teaching excellence with evidence of successful engagement across diverse student cohorts
• A commitment to equality, diversity, and inclusion, and the ability to develop positive, collaborative working relationships
• This position meets UKVI eligibility for both the Skilled Worker Visa and Global Talent Visa, and we welcome applications from international candidates.

What We Offer

As part of UCL, you’ll have access to a comprehensive and generous benefits package, including:

• 41 days of leave (27 days annual leave, 8 bank holidays, 6 closure days)
• Optional purchase of an additional 5 days’ leave
• CARE defined benefit pension scheme
• Season ticket loans and Cycle to Work scheme
