What we’re looking for

We are seeking an enthusiastic academic to play a key role in shaping the future of Business Analytics education at Liverpool Business School. This is an exciting opportunity to inspire students and contribute to a curriculum that reflects the latest developments in data-driven decision-making and analytical practice.

In this role, you will make a significant contribution to the Business Analytics curriculum, focusing on areas such as data-driven decision making, business intelligence, quantitative analysis, and the application of analytical techniques to real-world business challenges. You will teach across a broad range of undergraduate and postgraduate programmes and, where appropriate, contribute to our executive education offerings. Your responsibilities will include designing and delivering high-quality teaching materials, leading student assessment activities, and contributing to the planning and development of modules and programmes that keep pace with industry needs.

Alongside teaching, you will establish an independent research portfolio aligned with the school’s priorities, engage in impactful research and knowledge exchange activities, and contribute to administrative duties that support the School’s strategic objectives.

You will demonstrate the ability to teach at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels through lectures, tutorials, and seminars, as well as supervise postgraduate students. A proven ability to contribute to curriculum development and take responsibility for the effective delivery of modules is essential, along with evidence of engagement in quality research activity.
