Dear Colleagues,
Please see information below about faculty openings in entrepreneurship at University College
London.
Sincerely,
Steve Currall
Faculty Positions in Technology Entrepreneurship or Innovation Management
University College London
University College London (UCL) seeks to appoint committed, dynamic and self-motivated faculty
members to contribute to the rapid expansion of its activities in the fields of technology
entrepreneurship and innovation management.
As the centrepiece of a bold new initiative at UCL, the Centre for Enterprise and the Management
of Innovation (CEMI) is the basis for a new academic department based in the Faculty of
Engineering Sciences and of relevance to the entire UCL community and beyond. The department
aims to be a world-class community of scholar/teachers who focus on linking innovative research
and teaching to emerging technology companies. CEMI offers innovative undergraduate, post-
graduate and doctoral programmes to prepare scientists, engineers and physicians for leadership
roles in the next generation of technology intensive organisations.
The new department is the principal UCL partner in the growing strategic alliance between UCL
and the London Business School. The alliance capitalizes on research and educational synergies
between these two world-class institutions.
We aim to recruit faculty members who have fresh and radical ideas regarding research and
teaching that link cutting-edge science and engineering with entrepreneurial businesses to deliver
major societal benefits. We seek to appoint two colleagues at the rank of Lecturer (i.e. Assistant
Professor), although we will also consider more senior candidates. Compensation will be
competitive and appropriate to academic rank. Research facilities and support are excellent.
Applicants must demonstrate the ability to carry out internationally recognised research and will
be expected to seek external research funding. We will consider applications from outstanding
individuals with proven (or promising) expertise and publication records in areas such as:
entrepreneurship, technology and innovation management or the creation and management of
high-growth business. We value applications from discipline-based scholars able to apply theories
and methods from, for example, organizational behaviour, strategic management, industrial
engineering/operations management, psychology, sociology, economics or political science.
ENTERPRISE AND INNOVATION AT UCL
With more than 18,000 students, and 3,800 academic and research staff, UCL is dedicated to
research and teaching of the highest standard across a broad spectrum of disciplines including
social sciences, engineering, physical sciences, law, medicine and humanities. Nobel Prizes have
been won by 18 faculty members or graduates of UCL. UCL's research strengths were confirmed
by independent review with 60 departments being rated 5 or 5 star - the highest categories -
in the most recent UK Research Assessment Exercise. UCL has the highest number of professors of
any university in the UK, with more than 600 established and personal chairs, as well as the
highest number of female professors.
UCL has made significant capital commitments to the academic department and CEMI. CEMI is
currently housed in a two-year-old academic building. In summer of 2008 the academic
department and CEMI will move to a new building that is under construction. The building will
provide state-of-the-art facilities for academic staff, researchers and post graduate/post-
experience students.
