Research by the International Centre for Women Leaders at Cranfield School of Management has influenced recruitment for board-level appointments of publicly listed UK companies and has changed the composition of corporate boards in UK FTSE-350 companies. These changes in board composition, as well as the practices of leading executive search firms, owe much to the work of the Lord Davies Steering Group, which draws extensively on the Centre's research.

Cranfield University specialises in applied research which shapes our teaching and is converted into practical application of knowledge in Management and Technology. We have a unique Masters by Research in Leadership and Management opportunity for someone to help us to develop the distinctive scholarship of post-graduate, post-experience learning in adults. The lack of current research in this emerging field offers exciting opportunities for ground-breaking research, and early indications are that motivations, knowledge acquisition and application are very different from standard pedagogies based on child learners. If so, your research has the potential to transform university education. You may already be working in education or be considering a role in academia; or you might be in a managerial or learning-related role in industry. Either way, you are interested in management, motivation, leadership and learning. This is not a teaching post, although if that is part of your planned career path opportunities to gain academic experience may be available to the right candidate. Working closely with our new Centre for Andragogy and Academic Skills, your research will push forward the boundaries of our understanding about how adults learn; your results will demonstrate how to maximise learning and could be published in scholarly journals as well as influencing the learning and teaching practices in higher education. You will join a cohort of research students in our world-leading School of Management and be given training in academic research methods appropriate to your research needs, and you will work directly with students and academics across various themes within the University. A scholarship of up to full UK/EU fees is available. Note that this scholarship does not provide funding for living expenses or other costs. Potential research topics include: What is Cranfield’s signature andragogy?; Andragogy and new developments in Learning and Teaching; Developing the Reflective Practitioner; Kolb updated and applied. Admission requirements: • a strong first degree (UK level 2.1 minimum) • please see website for English language requirements. Deadline for applications: 31 July. Expressions of interest, alongside a CV, are invited via email to Dr Madeline Fisher m.fisher@cranfield.ac.uk in the first instance. See full details via the link: http://bit.ly/CranfieldAndragogy
