The department is Wales' leading collective of tourism, hospitality and events management academics and one of the foremost groups in these fields in the UK. Since UWIC was restructured in 2006, the department has strived to develop and improve the quality of its awards and provide a rewarding learning experience for its students. The National Student Survey 2008 results for our BA Tourism Management recorded overall satisfaction at 92%, which is one of the highest scores for any programme in any Higher Education Institution in the UK. The department's undergraduate and postgraduate programmes are underpinned by a vibrant research environment and the department is home to the Welsh Centre for Tourism Research (WCTR) which embraces the work of over 40 doctoral students, seven post-doctoral researchers, three Professors (Nigel Morgan, Annette Pritchard and Eleri Jones) and a suite of international research projects across Europe, Africa and the Middle East. The WCTR was the only tourism research group in the UK to achieve its own Research Assessment Exercise profile in 2008. Almost two-thirds of its research was ranked as of international standing, of which a quarter (25%) was deemed to be world-leading or internationally excellent. As a result, this places UWIC 6th in the Research Fortnight Power Rankings for tourism and sports-related studies research in the UK. This RAE success has further enhanced the WCTR's widely regarded international reputation and its credibility amongst its peers. The Centre has a strong publication catalogue, a growing portfolio of research activities, a flourishing research environment and a clear vision to build upon areas of research strength. WCTR is at the centre of a vibrant international research community and it hosts four Honorary Professors (Tom Baum, Conrad Lashley, Chris Ryan and Stephen Page) and visiting scholars from Europe, Africa and Australasia. In addition, WCTR is co-host of the Critical Tourism Studies Conference Series and has co-hosted several major international conferences in Wales, Croatia and Oman, as well as the 2008 ESRC Seminar Series on Tourism and Social Justice. WCTR research is inherently interdisciplinary and explores tourism's role in shaping wider socio-cultural, economic and spatial relations. Its researchers strive to produce theoretically-informed studies that engage with professional and policy issues and our research publications, projects, conferences and seminars address four research themes: * Sustainable destination development and marketing (including place branding, sustainability, human resource planning, service quality, the application of ICT and the SME economy); * Social, cultural and spatial policies of inclusion, citizenship, social justice and poverty alleviation; * Critical interpretations of the interplay between tourism, representation, landscape and social structures, experiences and identities; * Interpretative and critical modes of tourism inquiry. Further Job Opportunities at Cardiff School of Management: We confidently expect to be able to offer additional positions at Lecturer, Senior and Principal Lecturer and, possibly, Chair level in the near future, to be in post as early as possible in 2009-10. The positions are likely to be across the range of our activities - tourism, hospitality and events, business and management (including international programmes), information systems, and accounting, finance and economics. Again, we are keen to have expressions of interest from people with a passion for teaching and research/or enterprise. We would also like to hear from people who believe they have something special to offer the School at Chair level in areas such as Information Systems, Work-Based Learning and Sustainable Development, but other relevant fields could be of interest. For more information and details of how to apply or express an interest, please email [log in to unmask] Informal discussions about any of the posts can be arranged by calling Katy Isaacs of the HR Team on 029 2041 6117.
