Introduction to York St John 

York St John is an ambitious, modern university with a distinctive presence across both the historic city of York and London, and there has never been a more exciting time to join us. Our London campus plays an important role in extending the University’s reach, global engagement, and academic innovation, alongside our established foundation in York. Central to our ambition across both campuses is an unwavering commitment to academic excellence. 

As one of the fastest-growing universities in the UK in recent years, we have developed a new strategy for the next decade. This strategy emphasises our commitment to widening opportunity through the power of education and contributing our talents to the creation of a fairer world and more prosperous regions. Inspirational learning and impactful research are at the heart of this vision, with our academic expertise recognised as our greatest asset. 

York St John is committed to building diverse academic leadership and particularly welcomes applications from women and groups currently underrepresented at professorial level in Business and Management. 

The School and Campus 

During a period of significant change across the higher education sector, York Business School and our London Campus have expanded their portfolio of programmes designed to prepare both domestic and international students for successful professional careers. Fundamental to our ethos is the development of the individual, the creation of supportive academic communities, and close collaboration with the business community to build lasting partnerships and produce distinctive, career-ready graduates. 

York Business School and the London Campus benefit from a vibrant and supportive research culture. A substantial proportion of staff are research-active, with the School and Campus supporting a number of research groups. Research activity is firmly anchored within Business and Management Studies (Unit of Assessment 17), with established strengths in business and social justice, sustainable tourism and heritage development, healthcare management, sustainable transformation of the cultural industries, and rural business resilience. We have strong regional, national and international collaborations and a growing research profile. 

The Role 

We are seeking to make a number of senior professorial appointments to strengthen our research environment, support collective research development, and enhance our growing reputation for internationally recognised research. The primary purpose of the role is to provide senior research leadership, experience and expertise to strengthen the University’s research environment and to support the development of internationally excellent research within Unit of Assessment 17 (Business and Management Studies), including in preparation for REF 2029. 

The role will include structured mentorship of early- and mid-career researchers, contribution to staff and PGR CPD activities, support for grant development, and active engagement in collaborative research and scholarly leadership, with particular interest in candidates who bring experience of developing inclusive research cultures and enabling colleagues at different career stages to flourish. 

Postholders will be expected to work closely with School Research Leads across both sites, contribute to relevant School and Campus research committees, and support the delivery of agreed research actions, including the development of research events and conferences. 

Ideal candidates will have a strong international research profile, a sustained record of high-quality outputs and partnership development, and expertise aligned with one or more of the research areas outlined above. 

These appointments are fractional and fixed-term, offering flexibility to candidates wishing to align the role with a broader portfolio of academic or industry-based work. Appointments may be attached to either the York Campus or the London Campus, with opportunities to contribute across both locations as appropriate. Because of the fractional nature of the appointments, candidates do not need to relocate and may undertake the role alongside an existing academic or professional position. 

Key Requirements 

Commensurate with a professorial appointment, the successful candidate will demonstrate a strong and sustained record of internationally excellent research outputs, alongside a strong track record of research income generation. Evidence of effective mentorship, leadership, and collaborative research activity is also essential.  Evidence of collegial leadership, mentorship, and contribution to inclusive academic environments will be particularly valued. Flexible patterns of engagement will be agreed to reflect the fractional nature of the appointment.

We kindly ask previous applicants not to reapply
