The UCL School of Management is seeking to appoint a full‑time Associate Professor (Teaching) in Marketing Science, with a focus on data analytics and quantitative approaches to marketing. The role offers an opportunity to contribute to the development of new undergraduate and postgraduate programmes, including playing a key role in launching a new master’s degree in marketing science focused on technology, analytics, and AI. The postholder will design, deliver, and assess teaching at undergraduate and postgraduate levels, as well as supervise dissertations, provide personal tutoring, and contribute to wider School activities. The role requires engagement with the intersection of research, scholarship, and education in marketing and analytics, delivering impactful teaching, and building strong academic and professional networks both within UCL and externally at national and international levels.

Excellent English communication skills and strong interpersonal abilities are essential, along with the capacity to build effective and collegiate relationships at all levels.
