Lecturer in Marketing

The University of Bristol Business School is inviting applications for an outstanding Lecturer/Assistant Professor in Marketing on a full-time and open-ended basis.

Our School undertakes research at the intersection of business, social science, and technology, leading projects that benefit our economy, society, and planet. This type of research suits academics with disciplinary excellence who enjoy collaborating with colleagues in other fields, for example, computer science, engineering, mathematics, psychology, sociology, law, or health.

The Group is distinctive in approaching marketing as both a core function of businesses and organizations, and as a vibrant academic field that is key to understanding and shaping a rapidly changing world. Its strengths lie in the emphasis it places on the interface of marketing and consumer research. Staff in the group possess a wide range of expertise and experience, encompassing diversity of methodological and disciplinary traditions as well as researcher and practitioner backgrounds. Our research, teaching, and engagement priorities are organized around topics related to digital marketing and consumption and/or the nexus of marketing, consumption, and society.

You should apply if we particularly welcome candidates whose research interests align with and extend the existing strengths of the group and its ambition to develop distinctive contributions to digital and socially responsible marketing and consumption.

We care deeply about education and the student experience. We expect the candidate to provide inspiring and innovative teaching at undergraduate and postgraduate levels. We are increasing our interdisciplinary programmes, and openness to working with colleagues from other disciplines is an advantage.

Importantly, we want to be a great place to work. We have a very supportive and vibrant environment to help you progress in your academic career. You will be based in the Marketing and Consumption academic group, which has built a reputation for engaged research, outstanding teaching, and a supportive environment.
