Senior Lecturer in Accounting (Teaching and Professional Practice)

The School of Business and Management (SBM) at Queen Mary University of London invites applications from experienced and exceptional educators for appointments at the rank of Senior Lecturer in Accounting (Teaching and Professional Practice), to act as a Deputy Programme Director for our flagship undergraduate programme in accounting – the Flying Start (FS). FS is a partnership with PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) and the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW).

The successful candidate must have an undergraduate and postgraduate degree and/or relevant professional qualification and/or equivalent professional experience, together with a clear reputation for educational excellence. You also need to hold ICAEW membership and be familiar with aspects of ICAEW accreditations. The appointee will contribute to leadership of the FS programme, supporting the development of colleagues and fostering a culture of continuous improvement. They will also be instrumental in leveraging an extensive professional network to benefit students and colleagues alike, both in the UK and internationally. Through their professional practice, they will enhance the reputation of Queen Mary and our partner organisations, ensuring the continued success and evolution of this flagship programme.

The School offers students and staff the opportunity to be part of a socially-responsible business and management school, engaged with its local community through its students, and offering an innovative, multidisciplinary and values-led approach. We invite our students to ask incisive questions, to challenge their assumptions, and to search for solutions to real-world challenges.

We take pride in our multi-disciplinary approach that promises students an inspiring educational experience. Our engaging educational pathways and supportive staff teach students to think beyond textbooks, management fads and overly simplistic formulas for success.

At Queen Mary University of London, we believe that a diversity of ideas helps us achieve the previously unthinkable. Throughout our history, we’ve fostered social justice and improved lives through academic excellence. And we continue to live and breathe this spirit today, not because it’s simply ‘the right thing to do’ but for what it helps us achieve and the intellectual brilliance it delivers. We continue to embrace diversity of thought and opinion in everything we do, in the belief that when views collide, disciplines interact, and perspectives intersect, truly original thought takes form.

We offer competitive salaries, access to a generous pension scheme, 30 days’ leave per annum (pro-rata for part-time/fixed-term), a season ticket loan scheme and access to a comprehensive range of personal and professional development opportunities. In addition, we offer a range of work life balance and family friendly, inclusive employment policies, flexible working arrangements, and campus facilities. Queen Mary’s commitment to our diverse and inclusive community is embedded in our appointments processes. Reasonable adjustments will be made at each stage of the recruitment process for any candidate with a disability. We are open to considering applications from candidates wishing to work flexibly.
