As part of a strategic growth plan, the USB is seeking, in a first tranche of appointments, to recruit three full-time members of the Faculty of Economic & Management Sciences. The posts are available at Full Professor, Associate Professor or Senior Lecturer level, according to experience.

Any academic topic area appropriate to an international business school is relevant, but applications in the specific areas of Accounting and Finance are particularly welcome.
