We will be making appointments at the Senior Lecturer or Lecturer levels, equivalent to the Associate and Assistant Professor levels. We encourage applications from colleagues with specialisms in any area of marketing, but we are particularly looking for expertise in consumer behaviour, marketing psychology, advertising and marketing communications, and international marketing.
