Recently named Business School of the Year (2025) by the Education North Awards, LBS is committed to embedding digital literacy, employability, and internationalisation across all of our programmes. As proud signatories of the Principles for Responsible Management Education (PRME), we also maintain a vibrant academic community dedicated to responsible business education.

The Clinic works with a wide range of partners across the Liverpool City Region, providing impactful learning experiences and valuable contributions to the business community.

This is an exciting opportunity for an early career researcher with a passion for marketing and digital marketing education, and the ability to inspire students at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels.

• Can integrate digital tools, analytics platforms, and emerging marketing technologies into teaching.
• Have the ability to contribute to course leadership, academic advising, and student mentoring.
• Possess excellent organisational skills and the ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced academic environment.
• Show an understanding of, and commitment to, diversity, inclusivity, and widening participation in higher education.
