An opportunity exists to join an exciting new institute within University of Strathclyde.

The Stephen Young Institute for International Business (the Institute), located within Strathclyde Business School (SBS) takes an international and multidisciplinary approach to addressing some of the world's big challenges.

Named after Professor Stephen Young, a former Head of Strathclyde Marketing Department and cofounder of Strathclyde International Business Unit, the Institute seeks to improve processes and relationships of people and organisations in international value networks.

Building on the University's mission as a Place of Useful Learning and Strathclyde Business School's rich history in marketing and technological innovation, the Institute takes a bold and ambitious approach to addressing systemic challenges such as sustainability and inequality through collaborative international research and deep stakeholder engagement.

As Research Associate of the Institute, you will play a vital role in its growth as it builds upon the University's strong reputation for international business, sustainability, innovation, and marketing.

Under the guidance of the Institute Director, you will lead and participate in multiple initiatives including international and multidisciplinary research, knowledge exchange and impact activities.

The Institute was created through a generous gift from Strathclyde alum, Dr Charles Huang who completed both his MBA and PhD at Strathclyde Business School.

Dr Huang's donation also funds the Stephen Young Global Leaders Scholarship Programme and the Stephen Young Entrepreneurship Awards.

To be considered for the role, you will be educated to a minimum of PhD level in an appropriate discipline, or, exceptionally, have significant relevant experience in addition to a relevant degree.

You will have research interests consistent with the strategic direction of the Institute, be working towards a body of published research in high quality publications, and an ability to develop research proposals to attract funding.

You will have an ability to plan and organise your own workload effectively and an ability to work within a team environment.

You will have excellent interpersonal and communication skills, with the ability to listen, engage and persuade, and to present complex information in an accessible way to a range of audiences.

Formal interviews for this post will be held on Friday 10th May 2024.
