The opportunity

We have an exciting opportunity for a Reader, a research-active academic, to shape research leadership and contribute to the teaching and learning excellence of the Fashion Business School at the London College of Fashion.

About you

You will have an active research profile in business research with impact relevant to the fashion and lifestyle industries.  While all business disciplines are welcome to apply, we have particular interest in the following areas which are best aligned to our research themes of people, planet, profit and purpose:
–    Marketing, retail and consumer research,
–    Digital futures, artificial intelligence and emerging technologies in business and retail,
–    Entrepreneurship, leadership and small enterprise management, and
–    Business model innovation and circular economy

You will have a proven track record of outstanding research, as evidenced by your internationally recognised scholarship and publication. You will have led on externally funded research or knowledge exchange projects; collaborating with national and international partners in academia and industry to develop external funding applications to research councils, charitable trusts and other relevant agencies. 

You will demonstrate the ability to lead and mentor research with significant experience of academic leadership. You will have the ability to inspire trust and the confidence to develop and implement strategy in a complex environment.  

You will be expected to make a strong contribution to the teaching, research and REF profile of the College and provide ongoing leadership of your discipline. Your duties will also include the supervision and mentoring of research degree students as appropriate. Through your collaborative research and involvement with relevant professional bodies you will engender positive relationships with staff across the College and University.

We are UAL

University of the Arts London (UAL) generates and inspires the creativity the world needs for a better future. Since 1842, our colleges have been defining creative education. With curiosity, imagination and intent we make work which creates lasting change for people and our planet. London is core to who we are, a place where we meet and share ideas with people from different backgrounds and cultures.

Our creative network influences learning, culture, industry and society on a global scale. Our academics and practitioners deliver creative education and inspire new ways of thinking through research and innovation. We work with students at every level from pre-degree and short courses to postgraduate and online learning, enabling them to build the careers they want. Together, we are a community of makers, thinkers, pioneers and storytellers redesigning the future.

Our culture

We are a global University, welcoming over 22,000 students and 6,000 staff from 130 countries. We aim to be a university where people can be themselves and feel supported to reach their full potential. That’s why we are proud to be members of the Race Equality Charter (REC) and Business Disability Forum, are a Disability Confident Scheme Committed and Living Wage employer and maintain our status as a Stonewall Diversity Champion.

Application process

We operate a fair and open anonymous selection process. Thus, you will need to create an account and submit an application through our job board. As part of this, you will need to provide a supporting statement/answer some competency questions to demonstrate your suitability. Our recruitment process involves: Application, Shortlisting, Interview and Assessment, Offer, Onboarding.

We understand the benefits of using AI in work. But, if you are thinking of using it to submit an application, we ask you to think about what value it adds. AI tools tend to lack the personal touch and authenticity we value in candidates. We encourage you to showcase your unique knowledge and skills using your own voice.

If we receive a high volume of applications, the closing day date might close early. We aim to communicate any changes to the closing date with at least 24 hours’ notice. If you have any general questions or have accessibility needs, please refer to our Contact us page.
