Warwick Business School is a research-led, triple-accredited university-based business school with a portfolio of world-class programmes.

We are looking for an outstanding academic who is an international leader in the field of Operations and Supply Chain Management (OSCM).

The successful candidate will contribute towards an ambitious programme of research on several aspects including global supply chains, sustainable operations, and ethical sourcing.

With a strong research background, and experience of publishing research at the very highest level in OSCM journals and beyond, the successful candidate will also have an interest in research methodology and will work with an outstanding group of highly engaged and committed senior and junior faculty. A desire to support the school's research environment, in part by working and publishing with junior faculty, is an essential requirement of this post.

We are an equal opportunities employer.

Warwick Business School (WBS) is a place where big ideas meet real impact. We’re part of a world-class university, but we’re more than just our reputation. For nearly 60 years, we’ve been helping people turn ambition into action, equipping them to make a real difference in the world.

We were the first UK business school to achieve triple accreditation (EQUIS, AMBA, AACSB), and our programmes consistently rank among the best - view all of our rankings here.

But what really sets us apart is how it feels to be here. We’re down to earth, collaborative, and proud to create a place where staff, students and alumni feel  want your time here to be as inspiring as it is rewarding, with the support, trust, and opportunities you need to grow both professionally and personally.

The world needs smart ideas, and the leaders who can bring them to life. Those ideas only matter if they can be put into practice. Our vision is simple: to shape the people and ideas that will define what comes next and ensure they have everything they need to make it happen.

Everything we do is underpinned by our CORE values and fuelled by a Change Maker mindset. We look for this shared commitment in everyone who joins our community. We nurture that mindset every day by creating a workplace where curiosity is encouraged, ideas are shared openly, and everyone has the chance to turn bold thinking into meaningful action.

• Curiosity. We challenge, explore, and create to build a better future.
• Openness. We welcome ideas, feedback, and change to keep moving forward.
• Restlessness. We’re never content to stand still; we keep striving for more.
• Excellence. We hold ourselves to the highest standards in everything we do.

We are a world-leading research-intensive university founded in 1965. We are ranked 74th in the world and 9th in the UK.

Additionally, 92% of our research is rated world-leading or internationally excellent.
