The successful candidate will have a PhD in a relevant field, and experience of interdisciplinary and social science teaching and research in areas related to innovation studies, project management, organisation theory and strategy. Excellent knowledge of contemporary issues and debates within the areas of innovation and project management is essential, as is the ability to publish in high-quality journals and integrate ideas from a range of related areas.
