Where World-Class Research Meets Real-World Innovation
Manchester was built by entrepreneurs-and we're building its future with them. At Alliance Manchester Business School (AMBS), we invite a globally recognised scholar to join us as Professor of Entrepreneurship, contributing world-leading research that drives innovation, informs policy, and empowers the next generation of entrepreneurial leaders.
As we mark our 60th anniversary in 2025, AMBS is at the heart of a bold £1.7bn investment in Sister-a new innovation district set to become one of the world's leading entrepreneurial ecosystems. Within this dynamic environment, you'll find rich opportunities to collaborate with the Masood Entrepreneurship Centre (MEC)-one of the UK's leading centres for applied enterprise teaching, learning and venture support. Here in Manchester, you'll have an unparalleled opportunity to link theory to practice, working alongside high-growth ventures, investors, policymakers, and interdisciplinary researchers.
We offer:
- A world-class research environment with access to cutting-edge resources
- A thriving entrepreneurial city and university-wide ecosystem to shape and study
- A vibrant, interdisciplinary department publishing in AMJ, AMR, JBV, ET&P, SMJ, OrgSci, and more
- The platform to expand your global impact through thought leadership and policy influence
We welcome applications from any area of entrepreneurship research, particularly those who connect academic insight with the real-world dynamics of starting and growing new businesses.
Bring your ideas. Shape a city. Define the future of entrepreneurship.
What you will get in return:
- Fantastic market leading pension scheme
- International relocation support
- Generous research support allowance
- Excellent employee health and wellbeing services, including an Employee Assistance Programme and exceptional annual leave entitlement
As an equal opportunities employer we welcome applicants from all sections of the community regardless of age, sex, gender (or gender identity), ethnicity, disability, sexual orientation and transgender status. All appointments are made on merit.
