Queen Margaret Business School has a number of international partnerships delivering several highly successful programmes in Business, Hospitality & Tourism, and Accounting & Finance at locations around the world including India, Nepal, Greece and Uzbekistan. These programmes are thriving, and demand for them is growing year on year. In addition, the university has recently begun to develop and deliver fully asynchronous online postgraduate degrees and we plan to expand this provision into the Business School in the coming year. As such, we are now looking to expand our team with a colleague who brings specific expertise in banking and finance.
The successful candidate will be able to develop high quality teaching material and pursue innovative scholarship in the field of banking and finance. You will have some previous experience as a university lecturer and be a committed educator, supervisor, and outstanding communicator. The role will require you to contribute to a range of teaching, scholarship, pastoral, and administrative activities across the division, but the majority of the role will be oriented towards providing high quality academic support to our transnational partner institutions. The successful candidate may also bring valuable insight and/or experience to the role from working with professional bodies or previous industry work experience.
We are seeking to appoint a postholder who will be able to build a strong relationship with the teams at our partner institutions and take a leading role in managing the routine operational and quality management of these transnational degrees.
While the role is a 0.8 FTE open ended contract, an additional 0.2FTE will be added to the role on a fixed term basis until July 2024. This additional fraction is to provide support to the finance and accounting team while we develop some of our new asynchronous online modules. The role holder may be involved in the development of these modules or they may take on some of the teaching responsibilities of the existing team in order to allow them time to develop the new content.
