Lecturer in HRM or OB/Work Psychology (2 Roles)

Aston Business School

Aston Business School is triple accredited (EQUIS, AACSB and AMBA).  In the 2021 REF almost four-fifths of Aston University’s research is either ‘world leading’ or ‘internationally excellent.  Aston has excellent teaching (awarded a Gold rating in the 2016/17 TEF) and business engagement (awarded the Small Business Charter Gold Award).  In 2020 we were the Guardian’s University of the Year and the THE’s Entrepreneurial University of the Year.  We were again shortlisted for the University of the Year in 2021-22.

The Work and Organisation Department hosts three main clusters – HRM, Organisational Behaviour/Work Psychology and Social Responsibility and Sustainability.  We are also developing a new research unit focused on health work and workplaces.   

We are seeking two inspirational and highly motivated individuals to join our team and our specific areas of interest are in employment law, and sustainability in business.  Joining our team will enable you to develop your research profile and aspirations in a rich and thriving research culture alongside colleagues with impressive publication records, who are involved in the editing of leading journals and who regularly win competitive grants.  We support participation in international conferences and supervision of research students.  We welcome applications from those who will increase the research capacity of the department and contribute to the Department’s teaching and enterprise activities.

You should possess a good first degree, a doctorate in a relevant discipline, be establishing a research profile with a growing body of internationally excellent publications in HRM and OB/Work Psychology-related journals, as well as a developing international network.  You must have experience in securing and leading funding from different sources which deliver impact, and in undertaking effective doctoral research supervision.   You should have an effective and innovative teaching practice at all levels, and at least Fellowship of the HEA (or equivalent).  Chartered membership of the CIPD/BPS, industry experience and possession of entrepreneurial skills are highly desirable.  For OB/Work Psychologists, being a Chartered Occupational Psychologist is especially welcome, or a Chartered Psychologist (CPsychol) as a minimum.

The post-holders will report to the Head of Department.
