Research Associate: Sustainable Supply Chain

Sheffield University Management School, the Faculty of Social Sciences’ largest department, has achieved accreditation from the three largest and most influential business school associations: AACSB, AMBA and EQUIS. The mission of Sheffield University Management School is to use our world class research base to develop knowledgeable and employable students, promote socially-responsible work practices and have a positive impact on organisations and society throughout the world.

We sustain a research-intensive environment that creates, advances and disseminates knowledge with respect to management inquiry, for the benefit of students, private and public sector organisations and society in general. Our relocation to a fully refurbished building in June 2013 provides modern facilities in which to achieve our ambitions.

You will have an excellent record of high quality publications and you will be expected and encouraged to develop your research profile through joint research activities, providing you with an excellent opportunity to develop your academic career potential. You will be responsible for leading the development of code/area of life cycle analyses.

Experience in quantitative data collection and analysis, especially in developing mathematical indicators and large scale datasets and database analytics is essential. You will hold a good first degree and a PhD in a relevant area (or have equivalent experience).
