Lecturer/Assistant Professor in Employment Relations and Human Resource Management

About the role

Working as part of multi-disciplinary teams, you will be responsible for contributing to an exceptional student experience through the delivery of teaching, research, knowledge exchange and business and enterprise engagement activity. The successful applicant will join a vibrant community of academics within HRM Subject Group who deliver learning material and conduct research in the broad area of Human Resource Management. You should be able to develop, lead and contribute to teaching in the area of Employment Relations (and Industrial Relations) at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels. This includes development of tutorial/seminars, along with managing the team that delivers these sessions. There will be opportunities for involvement in other subject areas, but capacity to teach and lead teaching in Employment Relations is critical.

The HRM Subject Group is a cohesive and inclusive group whose members are supportive and collaborate with each other in both teaching and research.
