Glasgow Caledonian - the largest and leading modern university in Scotland - is a vibrant, values-led university with campuses in the heart of Glasgow and London. We're committed to high-quality education and research supporting the communities we serve, and we have strong partnerships with employers to ensure our students get the careers they dream of and deserve.



In 2025, we continue to be a Top 50 university as ranked by the highly regarded Guardian University Guide, the Times and Sunday Times Good University Guide, and the Daily Mail University Guide.



We're the only Scottish university with EcoCampus Platinum accreditation and were ranked second in Scotland for sustainability in the most recent People and Planet league table.



With a wide range of professionally accredited courses and links with over 300 industry partners, we have the highest proportion of employed graduates with 92% of students in employment or further study within 15 months of graduating (HESA 2025). We also have the highest proportion of undergraduate level graduates in highly skilled occupations compared to other Scottish modern universities.



Glasgow Caledonian is Scotland's leading provider of Graduate Apprenticeships. We have transnational partnerships around the world, supporting more than 22,000 students from nearly 120 countries, and strive for accessible education to help more people into university.

To support our continuing growth, The Glasgow School for Business and Society (GSBS) and its Department of Finance, Accounting, and Risk (FAR) is seeking to appoint a Lecturer in Risk (Analytics).



The successful applicant will work as part of a close-knit programme team and be expected to teach and manage modules at undergraduate and postgraduate, take on module leadership as appropriate and engage in further development of the subject area to ensure academic rigour and a curriculum that is numerate, challenging and informed by up-to-date scholarly research.



We are keen to receive applications from people who will enhance our long-standing reputation in Risk (Analytics). Applicants must possess a Masters and/or BA (Hons) qualification in Risk or hold a relevant business-related degree and have prior experience of supporting student learning, teaching and assessment in higher education. Lecturers are expected to contribute to the development and delivery of new and existing modules, supervision, and the enhancement of the student experience across the range of undergraduate and postgraduate programmes. Applicants for this role are required to possess expertise in applying data analytics for risk identification, assessment and mitigation, integrating data-driven methods within risk management frameworks to support strategic decision-making, and using statistical, machine learning, and diagnostic tools to enhance resilience, compliance and performance in varied organisational settings.


The Department of Finance, Accounting and Risk promotes innovation in learning and teaching and, therefore, we are keen to appoint an individual with up-to-date experience of e-learning and online environments. The post holders will also be expected to contribute to ensuring curricula are current by engaging in further development of the subject area to ensure academic rigour.



A higher education teaching qualification and/or Fellow status with AdvanceHE is desirable.
