Do you have a background in business events and a passion for data analysis and data management? Join the Academy for Leisure & Events (ALE) as a lecturer/researcher (0.6-1 FTE) and help train the next generation of professionals.

We are looking for someone who can bring strong market analysis skills into the context of the leisure and events industry. Help develop essential data management competencies so students thrive in this dynamic industry in which evidence-based practice and the smart use of data are becoming increasingly important.

As a lecturer/researcher at the Academy for Leisure & Events (ALE), you will have the opportunity to guide and support our students as they develop into young professionals in the leisure and events management field. Your home base will be the Events for Business specialisation, while you will also contribute to the propaedeutic phase of the professional bachelor’s programme – bringing your expertise to a broad range of students and strengthening the connections between the specialisation and the wider programme.

Within the Events for Business specialisation you will teach subjects such as event design, stakeholder management, sponsoring, business communication, hospitality, budgeting, and the strategic use of events as a marketing tool. You will contribute to the development and delivery of education that aligns with the rapidly changing world of business events and the MICE industry (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences & Exhibitions).

You will work together with other lecturers and support staff within a close-knit, informal community. In addition to teaching classes in both Dutch and English, you will supervise students during their placements or graduation projects and help develop educational materials. Your knowledge and relevant networks within the industry will further strengthen our curriculum: you will leverage your own professional network to arrange guest lecturers, practical assignments, and placements.

You specialise in market analysis and data management. You will guide students in translating data into effective event strategies, preparing them for an industry where evidence-based decision-making is becoming increasingly important.

In our educational vision, collaborative learning takes centre stage. Rather than traditional lectures, we prioritise continuous interaction with students, working on a wide range of challenges in small-scale learning communities. You will play a key role in connecting these challenges, students, industry and professional practice, to create meaningful learning experiences. You will not need to have all the answers - your role is to guide students in finding them for themselves.

At Breda University of Applied Sciences (BUas), we operate on the principle of team-based working, where responsibilities and authority are assigned to teams within the academy. This approach leaves plenty of room for your own input, enabling you to help shape the future of education. And with every cohort, you will find yourself learning something new as well.
