Associate Professor (Teaching) in Societal Impact(UK Visa Sponsorship)

The UCL School of Management is an internationally respected hub for business education and research excellence. Ranked 2nd in the UK for Business and Management in the Research Excellence Framework (REF) 2021, the School is recognised for producing world-leading research and for its contributions to innovation, entrepreneurship, and analytics.
