Description

Lancaster University Management School (LUMS) is seeking to appoint a full-time, fixed-term Post-Doctoral Research Associate (PDRA) to join the Entrepreneurship & Strategy Department until 31st August 2024.

LUMS has built a 24-year reputation for research of outstanding quality. We are looking for a PDRA to join the School's inspiring research culture.


The work is to support the four-year, EC Horizon 2020 sponsored project to address gender inequality in Business and Management (B&M) schools through the development and effective implementation of Gender Equality Plans (GEPs).

Partner organisations in the TARGETED-MPI consortium are based in Europe and the Middle East.

You will be closely supported by the academic lead.

You will collaborate with project partners to manage and analyse existing datasets, and to work with existing teams at Lancaster to develop, action and support implementation and monitoring activities in line with the project's Gender Equality Plan.

You will also be involved in organizing and contributing to stakeholder workshops and dissemination events, including the continuing development and management of a Gender Equality Observatory at Lancaster University, part of a European Network of Gender Equality Observatories to be established by the project, to ensure the long-term sustainability of gender equality activities and initiatives in academia.

The post will require travel within Europe to attend stakeholder workshops and project meetings.


Research activities and engagement with the project members and those individuals and stakeholders the project is working with will be an important part of your activities.

You will be expected to participate in knowledge dissemination activities and to be a key part of the Department's research and engagement community.

You will join a team comprising academics and other stakeholder organisations, working collaboratively with our partners.

You will be joining an inspiring research setting that will integrate you into the project and also supports you in developing your own research profile.


The School provides a research environment that strongly supports the individual needs of each employee, promoting a healthy work-life balance.

We are committed to family-friendly and flexible working policies on an individual basis, as well as the Athena Swan Charter, which recognises and celebrates good employment practice undertaken to address gender equality in higher education and research.

This post is offered on a fixed term basis (full time) until 31st August 2024 commencing by agreement.
