50th Anniversary Lectureships - Management
Starting Salary between £33,242 - £39,685 *
Closing Date:   Sunday 22 February 2015
Interview Date:   To be confirmed
Reference:  A1145

As Lecturer in Mobile Work, you will further develop Lancaster’s already strong international reputation for research on mobilities. You will contribute to the research agendas of the Departments of Organisation, Work and Technology in the Management School and Sociology, and will play a central role in the Lancaster University Centre for Mobilities Research. More broadly you will have potential to build links with one or more of Lancaster’s School of Health and Medicine, Institute for Contemporary Arts (LICA), School of Computing and Communications, Security Lancaster and DEMAND centres, and the Work Foundation.

Your research will address the growing tendency for work to be detached from any fixed place or space. It will explore one or more of the various ways that work can be mobile, including but not limited to work completed whilst travelling, work that has a constantly changing location, work that involves virtual connectivity and mobility, work that involves constantly move between employers etc.

You will adopt a critical and theoretically informed approach to research, and in line with the interests of the Departments and Centres that the post will be associated with, will address the wider implications of mobile work for issues such as: climate change and sustainability; economic development and resilience; work and organisation; social equality, diversity, and inclusiveness; health and wellbeing, (for example in terms of work-life balance); technology and society; and smart cities and digitally enabled practice.
