Job description
Queen's Management School is one of the top Business Schools in the UK and Ireland and has been educating business professionals and leaders for more than forty years. The School has four departments - Accounting, Economics, Finance and Management.
Queen's Management School is ranked 1st amongst Russell Group business schools based on quality of teaching,
academic rigour and student satisfaction noted in the NSS (National Student Survey) scores 2016.
We have 4 subject areas in the top 25 in the Times and Sunday Times Good University UK Guide 2017:
Accounting and Finance is ranked 4th in the UK
Management is ranked 19th in the UK
Economics is ranked 23rd in the UK
The 2011 relocation of the School to the Riddel Hall campus, a major strategic development for the University, brought all academic staff, support staff, and postgraduate students, onto one site for the first time. Executive Education is delivered via the William J. Clinton Leadership Institute (CLI). Established in 2012, the CLI amalgamated with the Queen's Management School in 2016 and it has grown rapidly as it seeks to develop leadership capacity at all levels in Northern Ireland and beyond. The School unites leading academics and industry experts, allowing opportunities for innovative knowledge exchange worldwide.
The School now has 123 academic and support staff with over 1,900 taught students and 50 students undertaking PhDs.
Our academic staff have been involved in a diverse range of projects such as health inequalities, adaptiveness in stock markets, economic and financial history, credit unions, trends in genetically engineered crops, transparency in charity reporting, innovation and firm performance, supply chain management in agri-food businesses, marketing in the retail sector, HRM, trust and employee voice, management systems in the public and non-profit sectors business ethics and whistleblowing.
Research and impact highlights
*
The Management School was ranked 9th in the UK for Research Intensity (REF2014), with 70 percent of research undertaken in the School deemed to be world leading or internationally
excellent in terms of originality, significance and rigour.
*
The School has four main research themes: Accounting, Finance, Economics and
Management. Research in the School interprets patterns of economic, business and social
life in a manner that fosters new theories and ideas; engages in empirical research grounded
in current practices; and develops suggestions for public policy as well as institutional and
organizational innovations. The core purpose is to deepen understanding of how markets,
business organisations and social institutions evolve over time.
*
The School has established a concentration of scholars with significant recognition in at least
four areas: (a) human resource management; (b) credit unions; (c) public and non-profit
sector accounting and management; (d) economic and financial history. For example,
output of the Centre for Economic History has seen it ranked 6th in the world (Tilburg ranking 2013), while the impact case study concerning credit unions submitted to REF 2014
was assessed by the panel as 'outstanding'.
*
The School has four research Centres: Centre for Irish Business and Economic Performance
(CIBEP); Centre for Not-for-profit and Public-sector Research (CNPR); The
Centre for Health
Research at the Management School (CHaRMS); Queen's University Centre for Economic
History (QUCEH)
*
The Centre for Irish Business and Economic Performance (CIBEP), consists of an
i
nterdisciplinary community of scholars interested in Irish (north and south) business, economic and social performance. The Centre aims to assist Ireland in building a stronger economy and society through engaging in research-informed debate and offering advice aimed
at realising improved business, economic and social conditions.
*
The Centre for Not-for-profit and Public-sector Research (CNPR) is an interdisciplinary
research centre which aims to promote research into issues relating to public-sector and not-
for-
profit organisations (such as charities, credit unions and social-enterprise agencies). I
t
focuses
on three main themes: accountability in the charity and public sectors; financial
institutions; and
managing in the charity and public sectors. The Centre brings together
academic staff,
graduate
students and industry experts
researching and practising in the
area from across
the
university and elsewhere.
*
The Centre for Health Research at the Management School (CHaRMS) research agenda
covers many topics that focus on how to improve lives in Northern Ireland and internationally.
In high income countries the focus of the Centre is on policy-relevant areas
such as the impact
of welfare reform, optimal design and management of the health sector,
incentivising
'positive'
health behaviours, causal determinants and effects of the different
components of wellbeing,
and coping with demographic change.
*
Queen's University Centre for Economic History (QUCEH), an interdisciplinary research centre
based at Queen's University Belfast, was founded to address the growing concern that there is
a
lack of respect for the past in economics teaching and research today. At Queen's, we think
that it is only by regaining this healthy respect that economists can fully understand the present.
The centre brings together faculty and graduate students working on the economic study of the
past from across the university and elsewhere. QUCEH members include business, economic,
financial and social science historians who are specialists on the history of Ireland, Britain,
Europe and North America. QUCEH's mission is to support its members by coordinating
research projects, providing a forum for interdisciplinary discussion, hosting regular research
seminars and workshops with invited speakers, and providing graduate training to the next
generation of economic historians and historical economists.
