Professor of Sustainability

Join us as a Professor in Sustainability at Salford Business School and be part of the University of Salford, one of the UK’s fastest growing universities!

Salford Business School boasts a vibrant international community with entrepreneurial, innovative students, a dedicated team of expert colleagues, and a remarkable global network of accomplished alumni. We’re not just a school – we’re pioneers in redefining education and its role in shaping the future and world around us.

Our community values, commitment to innovation, and deep-rooted ties with industry drive our dedication to pushing boundaries. Embracing edtech and an enterprising mindset, we equip our students with the latest tools and methodologies.

We are a Small Business Charter accredited School, proud to work in partnership with regional businesses, SMEs and multinationals, supporting growth and productivity in Greater Manchester and the wider region.

We are in the top 5 HESA ranking for SME engagement and recently launched our Centre for Sustainable Innovation (CSI), a collaboration with academia, policymakers and industry, empowering businesses to overcome challenges in today’s everchanging business landscape.

Embracing a digital-first perspective in partnership with industry, we aim to ensure our graduates are skilled and poised for leadership and collaboration. Whilst we know the future will be characterised by continued technological disruption, rapid developments, and societal changes, there are some things we cannot predict. We know that the established body of business and management is what can guide us into the future. And one thing is certain: our unwavering commitment to learners, to industry, to our region, and to our global communities will always remain.

And we are not stopping there.

We are delivering an ambitious innovation strategy offering increased impact and significantly boosting research power. We have new buildings, new content, a new Campus Connectivity Plan, and now we have new opportunities to join us.
