Following our recent RAE success and
Institutional Review, the Cardiff School of Management (to be based from 2010
in a new, state-of-the-art building in Wales’ vibrant capital city, Cardiff)
is seeking ambitious, talented academics to join its department of tourism,
hospitality and events management.
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.
