FACULTY POSITIONS IN TECHNOLOGY MANAGEMENT, INNOVATION, AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP AT UNIVERSITY COLLEGE LONDON
As part of a continuing expansion in the fields of technology entrepreneurship and innovation management, University College London (UCL) seeks to appoint committed, dynamic and self-motivated faculty members to full-time academic positions in the new planned Department of Technology Management & Innovation.
Based in the Faculty of Engineering Sciences we are building a world-class community of scholars/teachers who focus on linking innovative research and teaching to emerging technology companies. The Department offers innovative undergraduate, postgraduate and doctoral programmes to prepare scientists, engineers and physicians for leadership roles in the next generation of technology intensive organisations. The Department recently hired new faculty members who received graduate degrees at leading universities such as Stanford, Cambridge, Cornell, London School of Economics and European University Institute.
The new Department is the UCL partner in the growing strategic alliance between UCL and the London Business School. The alliance capitalises 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 or three colleagues at the rank of Lecturer (i.e. Assistant Professor), although we will also consider more senior candidates at the level of Reader (i.e., Associate Professor). Compensation is 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, organisational behaviour, strategic management, industrial engineering/operations management, psychology, sociology, economics or political science.
Technology Management and Innovation at UCL
As the flagship campus of the University of London system, and 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 19 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 field of science-led innovation. These include resources to found the planned department along with support for the interdisciplinary Centre for Enterprise and the Management of Innovation (CEMI), which advances innovation related outreach activities.
During the 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 postgraduate/post-experience students.
