The Saïd Business School seeks to recruit a Senior Research Fellow in Major Programme Management (MPM). The School welcomes applications from academics with a strong track record of research and teaching in MPM and related topics. The position is available from 1 September 2025 or at a different date by negotiation.

 

 

The successful candidate will be an outstanding scholar and educator in MPM. They must have a strong record of publication in top international peer-reviewed journals and be committed to a programme of intellectually rigorous, up-to-date, and relevant research. In addition, they must be capable of contributing to teaching across various programmes, such the MSc in Major Programme Management (MMPM), MBA, the Executive MBA, and Executive Education programmes.

 

For this post, the School is especially interested in applicants whose research has a clear focus in major programmes as a phenomena and has demonstrated expertise in one or more of the theories that underpin the study of these large-scale, complex initiatives. Such theoretical focus can arise from business and management, or related areas in sociology, psychology, or even engineering and computer science. We also welcome all methodological perspectives, qualitative and/or quantitative. Candidates for this post must have established themselves as productive and creative researchers. A promising research pipeline and the ability to continue their research excellence and impact here at the School are central criteria for appointment to this position.
