The Marketing group within the department (which consists of three main disciplines: marketing, international business, and entrepreneurship) is focused on consumption, sustainability, innovation, and traditional marketing related subjects. As a Department we host three research mobiliser groups: consumer well-being, international business, and responsible business. We are defined by a passion for teaching, research, and engagement, and focused on creativity, sustainability, technology, and managerial practice. The Department has a strong reputation within the United Kingdom and hosts a range of vibrant and popular undergraduate and postgraduate programs.

We are looking for an individual with an exciting research program that either complements or adds to the interests of our current faculty (https://www.sussex.ac.uk/business-school/people-and-departments/strategy-and-marketing), and for marketing in particular: https://www.sussex.ac.uk/business-school/people-and-departments/strategy-and-marketing/research.

In particular, we are seeking scholars interested in consumer related marketing topics. We welcome candidates from all ontological and methodological approaches.

The University of Sussex has a strong tradition of policy work and outreach and we therefore welcome applications from candidates with potential to have a policy and/or practical impact.

The successful candidate will be an engaged early-career academic who enjoys working in a dynamic, multidisciplinary environment and shows enthusiasm for collaborating with colleagues within marketing and across disciplines.

Candidates must be able to demonstrate their research has publication potential in top level journals.
