About LJMU

At Liverpool John Moores University, our students thrive because of the people who teach, guide, and inspire them, we truly make a difference. Every year, our commitment to exceptional education attracts talented students from across the UK and the world. This growth is fuelled by inspirational academics, professionals who bring vision, passion, and expertise to their disciplines.

Driven by our continued growth in student numbers and our commitment to delivering outstanding learning, teaching, and research opportunities for our students, we are expanding our academic community. As part of this growth, we are creating a number of key academic positions that will play an integral role in shaping our university's next chapter.

Liverpool Business School (LBS) is widely recognised for its commitment to innovation, enterprise, and the development of future business leaders. We equip our students with the knowledge, practical experience, and industry connections they need to excel, all within a dynamic and research-informed learning environment.

Our broad range of undergraduate and postgraduate programmes is strengthened by strong partnerships at local, regional, and international levels. Recently named Business School of the Year (2025) at both The Times Higher Education Awards and Education North, LBS is proud to embed digital literacy, sustainability, employability, and internationalisation throughout our curriculum.

We are currently pursuing AACSB accreditation and are proud signatories of the Principles for Responsible Management Education (PRME). As holders of the Small Business Charter, we are recognised for our entrepreneurial focus and meaningful engagement with the business community.

Central to our applied learning approach are the Business Clinic and Accounting Clinic, which enable students to work on live consultancy projects with real organisations across the Liverpool City Region, gaining invaluable hands‑on experience.

Join Liverpool Business School and help shape the future of digital business and AI education. We are seeking an innovative and passionate academic who can inspire students and contribute to our reputation for delivering an exceptional learning experience.

In this role, you will play a key part in advancing our digital business curriculum, with a focus on digital transformation, innovation and entrepreneurship in digital contexts, AI for business decision‑making, and emerging technologies. We are particularly interested in candidates who understand how large language models (LLMs) and AI tools are transforming business functions and can bring this knowledge into the classroom.

You will teach across a diverse range of programmes; undergraduate, postgraduate, and executive education, creating engaging learning materials and assessments that challenge and inspire. Beyond teaching, you will contribute to curriculum development, module design, and programme enhancement, ensuring our students gain cutting‑edge knowledge and practical skills.

As part of our vibrant academic community, you will also develop an independent research portfolio aligned with the school's priorities, engage in professional and knowledge exchange activities, and support the school's wider academic mission.

We are looking for a candidate with a strong academic background and a passion for teaching and research. You should hold a postgraduate qualification or equivalent experience, and ideally a PhD in a related subject, or be close to completion within a year of appointment. Experience in teaching at undergraduate level or delivering professional training is essential, along with the ability to teach across both undergraduate and postgraduate programmes and supervise postgraduate students. You will be confident in contributing to curriculum development and taking responsibility for the effective delivery of modules and programmes.

This is a key moment to join a welcoming, ambitious, and research‑informed university community that places students at the heart of everything we do. We value and invest in our staff, offering meaningful opportunities for professional development, scholarship support, and clear internal promotion routes.

As well as outstanding development support, we also offer:

• A low contractual 35‑hour week
• Generous annual leave entitlement and Christmas period closure with the option to purchase additional annual leave
• Excellent pension scheme
• Access to an Employee Assistance Programme
• Family friendly policies

We are also investing in our staff and students by creating a busy and thriving campus, the hubs of which are our friendly and inclusive Student Life, Redmonds, Tithebarn and Byrom Street buildings. Our staff are visible and present for our students and this all adds to the fantastic student experience of living and studying in such a vibrant city. We see our staff as very much part of this community and value their contribution to the success of LJMU, Liverpool and the wider northwest region.

If you’re inspired by the idea of joining a growing university and bringing your expertise to a community where you can truly make a difference, we look forward to hearing from you.
