Assistant / Associate / Professor in Economics

Salary: Internationally competitive

Location: South Kensington Campus

About the role:

Imperial College Business School is seeking qualified applicants for faculty positions in its Department of Economics & Public Policy at the rank of Assistant, Associate and Full Professor in Economics. We are open to candidates with research interests in any field of economics.

As with most business schools, most of the department’s teaching focuses on applied economics, management and analytics modules. Our innovative undergraduate degree in Economics, Finance and Data Science admitted its first students last year; our MSc programmes include Economics and Strategy for Business and an interdisciplinary degree in Climate Change, Management and Finance. The position requires a strong record of research commensurate with seniority and demonstrated excellence in teaching and service. The appointed candidate will be encouraged to proactively engage in research grant applications; Imperial’s strategy “Science for Humanity” provides significant opportunities for interdisciplinary research.

Applicants for the position of Assistant Professor should have the potential to publish innovative, rigorous, and relevant contributions in top academic journals. Candidates for an Associate or Full Professor position should demonstrate considerable excellence in research.

Applications from women, BAME and other groups who are currently underrepresented in the School are especially welcome. Reasonable adjustments will be made at each stage of the recruitment process for neurodiversity and disability associated needs.

The initial interviews will be conducted virtually in December.

What you would be doing:

You will contribute to Imperial’s mission as a leading research-intensive university, developing your own range of research and teaching on our degree programmes. You are encouraged to develop research collaborations within and outside Imperial, and we provide travel funding to facilitate this. You will share in the administrative tasks of running the department and the Business School, to an extent appropriate to your career stage.

What we are looking for:

• You will have a PhD in Economics or a related field, or (for an assistant professor) expect to have one before taking up the post
• You will be able to demonstrate capability for high-quality innovative research in your area, with a strong research agenda and pipeline. Applicants for associate or full professor should be developing an international reputation for their research.
• You will have experience (appropriate to your level) in teaching economics to university students.

What we can offer you:

· The opportunity to continue your career at a world-leading institution and be part of our mission to build science for humanity

· You can grow in your career with tailored training programmes for academic staff including dedicated support with navigating your career and managing research as well as a transparent promotion process.

• Our Total Remuneration Package (TRP) includes our sector-leading package of pay, pensions and recognition as well as 39 days off a year.
• We have many initiatives to support staff in their personal life such as flexible working, private health insurance, staff networks, support for staff, childcare and carers
• We offer benefits to support an active lifestyle and health initiatives, such as the cycle to work scheme, and access to onsite leisure facilities.
