    Associate/Full Professor of Digital Leadership

     

    Imperial College Business School is seeking outstanding candidates for the position of Associate or Full Professor of Digital Leadership. At ICBS, we see leadership as key to what determines whether organizations thrive in today's technology driven world. We believe that technology transforms business and society in positive ways when it is deployed by leaders who have a strategic vision, can orchestrate and motivate the right talent, and who possess the competencies to manage radical change. Digital transformation is therefore as much about leadership as technology or strategy. We are looking for a scholar who can help drive this vision forward, engaging fellow scholars, students and the broader community in their work. We are looking for world class scholars who can provide intellectual leadership around the exciting intersection of leadership and digital transformation. Thus, we are seeking applicants whose research interests lie in leadership but include some aspect of innovation, entrepreneurship, or digital transformation, as these are key areas of focus within the Business School and build directly on the strengths of Imperial College London more broadly.

     

    Located in the heart of London, Imperial College London is a science and technology university with a world-class reputation in science, engineering, business and medicine.

Imperial was also ranked by Reuters as the most innovative university in Europe. Staff and alumni include 14 Nobel laureates, 3 Fields Medalists, 74 Fellows of the Royal Society, 84 Fellows of the Royal Academy of Engineering, and 85 Fellows of the Academy of Medical Sciences.

The London location is ideal for connecting with business and government and the Business School has a number of research centres funded by corporate partners and a growing portfolio of custom and open executive education programmes.

     

    The successful applicant will be a highly motivated researcher and is expected to contribute to the school by publishing in top academic journals and teaching graduate students, as well as contributing to our rapidly expanding suite of executive education programmes. As senior scholars, applicants are expected to demonstrate excellence in research and an ability to contribute to further developing a vibrant research environment in the Business School. Salaries are internationally competitive, research support is generous, and teaching requirements are moderate by international standards. The expected start date is Aug 1, 2019 although this is negotiable.
