About the Job
Interview Date: 24 March 2023
Following several years of strong domestic growth and international expansion, the Faculty of Business and Law wishes to appoint an innovative academic in the department of Business Systems & Operations to extend our team. The successful candidate can expect to teach and supervise across a range of programmes at undergraduate and postgraduate levels (including delivery overseas) and to contribute to the extension of technology enhanced learning across our portfolio. It is highly likely that this post will involve collaboration with international partners and/or international travel.
We want you to be able to carry out your work in a way that best supports UON and our students, but also you as an individual. We understand this may vary between different areas of the university as well as from one person to another. With Smarter Working you can work with increased flexibility, if you would like to, which can facilitate greater freedom and autonomy.
About You
Applications are invited from candidates with a Master's or PhD qualification in the field of Business Systems & Operations. Fellowship of the Higher Education Academy (HEA), a recognised HE teaching qualification, or a commitment to achieve Fellowship in an agreed timescale is essential. We also welcome applications from candidates who have expertise in two or more of the following areas: operations management, supply management procurement and logistics.
Experience of module leadership, distance learning and learning technologies, in addition to practitioner experience to complement academic credentials, would also be strongly advantageous. We are ambitious, externally facing and engaged in a wide and growing range of enterprise, social enterprise, corporate education, training and applied research activities.

Faculty/Department
The Faculty of Business and Law is the largest in the University of Northampton with around 200 academic staff and 5600 students. Led by a Dean, Deputy Dean and Associate Dean, we offer a broad portfolio of programmes at undergraduate, postgraduate and doctoral levels. We also maintain a number of successful academic partnerships in the UK and internationally through which several of our programmes are delivered.
An ambitious plan to replace the majority of our existing programme portfolio over the next 2-4 years whilst developing programmes in new and innovative disciplines offers an exciting opportunity for individuals that share our ambitions to make a direct contribution to our continuing success.
About Us
Come to the University of Northampton and you will see that we do things a bit differently.
We are one of the youngest universities in the UK but we are already leading the way in adding value to society, which we call social impact. We have won multiple awards for our work in this area, among others, but what matters the most to us is ensuring that our students and graduates have the opportunity to make their mark on the world too. That's why we were the first university in the UK to be named as a Changemaker Campus in 2012.
We want to break the mould of what Higher Education can be. This has led us to build a whole new University from the ground up that is designed to reflect the way that students actually learn rather than the way they are expected to learn. Waterside Campus opened in September 2018.
Our commitment to transforming lives and inspiring change is at the heart of all that we do.
Right to Work
All candidates will be asked to provide proof of eligibility to work in the UK at interview.
