Dear colleagues,
We are currently advertising for a 3-year Postdoctoral Fellowship in Environmental Regulation and Innovation at Queen Mary University of London (QMUL).
The deadline for applications is July 24th, 2016. Applicants should complete the online form, including a cv, brief outline of research plans and a writing sample (journal article or thesis chapter) by this date for full consideration.
QMUL is recognised as a top 100 university in the Times Higher Education's World University Rankings, and placed 9th in the UK among multi-faculty institutions in the 2014 Research Excellence Framework. I am now the head (dean) of the School of Business and Management. We recently re-committed to our school's core purpose, that is, to promote social justice, sustainability and good governance in the management of private, public and voluntary organisations through our research and education.
The successful candidate will have completed a PhD in a relevant area, or be expecting to complete by September 2016. We are open to applicants with expertise in a core social science discipline (e.g. geography, economics, politics, psychology, sociology...), who may be considering a research and teaching career in a business school. The fellow will be expected to support Professor Frances Bowen's research in the area of environmental regulation and innovation. The fellow would also develop their own research and publication agenda in any area of corporate strategy and sustainable development, including but not limited to: industry self-regulation, innovation for sustainability, collaboration, corporate environmental communication, sustainable entrepreneurship, corporate political strategy, managing natural resources, measuring and accounting for sustainability performance, business responses to climate change etc.
Postdoctoral fellows are full members of the school's vibrant research community, and will have access to research support including an annual budget for conference attendance. While teaching is not the focus of this post, postdoctoral fellows may have opportunities to gain some teaching experience over the course of their fellowships. They will also have a small proportion of their time committed to contributing to the school's overall academic mission through participation in strategic initiatives and task-and-finish groups.
The post is full time, on a fixed three-year contract. Starting salary will be in the range £38,682 to £40,840 inclusive of London Allowance, and will include 30 days annual leave, membership of the USS pension scheme and interest-free travel season ticket loan.
With best wishes,
Frances
