Lecturer in Fashion Management: Research Methods

The opportunity

Teaching research methods across the Leadership and Management Programme at London College of Fashion, from undergraduate BSc through to MBA level, equips students at all career stages with the ability to think critically, gather evidence, and make evidence‑driven decisions.

The role emphasises research as critical thinking rather than a set of technical procedures. Students will explore how to ask important questions, design robust inquiries, and apply qualitative and quantitative methods to real business challenges in the fashion industry.

Key responsibilities include:

• Delivering teaching of research methods across all levels of the programme.
• Supervising student research projects and dissertations from undergraduate capstones to postgraduate theses.
• Contributing to curriculum development with the wider course team.
• Supporting activities that enhance student learning.

The position is part‑time, allowing flexibility to maintain active engagement with research practice or professional work.

Applicants should hold an undergraduate degree in a relevant subject and have substantial experience teaching research methods in higher education.

A higher degree (MSc, MBA, or equivalent) in a relevant field is essential, with demonstrated experience in qualitative and quantitative research methods.

Other requirements:

• Comfortable supervising dissertations and major projects across different levels.
• Ability to work collaboratively within a course team and commit to supporting student development as independent researchers.
• Professional research experience or knowledge of research applications in business or fashion contexts is highly desirable.
