The Provost Fellowship Programme

Edinburgh Business School Dubai is continuing to expand and as part of our commitment to developing early career academics we are looking for our next Provost Fellow.

We are seeking an enthusiastic and ambitious colleague who would like to join our successful School. Through the two‑year Fellowship programme we will support the development of the Fellow in relation to learning, teaching and research. The Fellow will join our Accounting, Economics & Finance Department and work collaboratively as part of the academic teams.

Our fellow will be mentored by experienced academics and will have an individual development plan.
