The position is available from 1 September 2025 or at a different date by negotiation.

For this post, the School is especially interested in applicants whose research has a clear focus in major programmes as a phenomena and has demonstrated expertise in one or more of the theories that underpin the study of these large-scale, complex initiatives. Such theoretical focus can arise from business and management, or related areas in sociology, psychology, or even engineering and computer science. We also welcome all methodological perspectives, qualitative and/or quantitative. Candidates for this post must have established themselves as productive and creative researchers.
