The posts are located in the International Centre for Corporate Social Responsibility (ICCSR) which enjoys an international reputation for research and teaching excellence in the areas of CSR, Business Ethics and Sustainable Business. The ICCSR team engages in interdisciplinary research and teaching in the following broad areas: strategies for CSR; business ethics; social and environmental accountability; CSR and governance; managing for sustainability; and sustainable finance. It adopts an interdisciplinary approach and has an international focus. This is an exciting time to join the ICCSR as it orientates its activities towards some of society’s ‘Grand Challenges’. The new posts would ideally compliment and enrich activities in any one of our three research hubs – ‘Ethics and corporate responsibility’, ‘Sustainable business and environmental justice’ and ‘Governance and accountability’ (details below) - that aim to address contemporary Business-Society challenges such as ‘food poverty’, ‘climate change’ and ‘labour exploitation’.
