Job description 

The Department of Strategy & Marketing, University of Sussex Business School, is looking to recruit a full-time Professor of Marketing. 

The Department of Strategy & Marketing consists of three sections (marketing, international business, and entrepreneurship), the largest of which is Marketing. 

Presently, the Marketing Group has expertise in consumer decision making and behavior, consumer culture theory, brand management, digital marketing and marketing communications, product and service innovation, social marketing, and business-to-business marketing. 

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

We have our own behavioral lab, and access to a significant range of resources in terms of support for grants, and policy and external engagement. 

We host a research mobiliser group focused on consumer well-being to complement those in responsible business and international business. 

We are looking for a Professor to help further the group’s research trajectory. We are open to all sub-disciplinary areas and agnostic in terms of methodological preference. As a Professor, you will be expected to mentor junior faculty and contribute to the strategic direction of the group. 

The Department has leading undergraduate and postgraduate programs, both off- and on-line. 

The Department has a strong reputation within the United Kingdom and hosts a range of vibrant and popular undergraduate and postgraduate programs.
