    Holding a relevant PhD or equivalent research experience, you will demonstrate excellence in research in the discipline of leadership/digital leadership gained either through previous academic positions or senior level industry/professional career experience.

    You will hold an excellent record of international scholarly achievement in a relevant area of leadership, combined with a demonstrated active research agenda and a record of successful engagement with industry.
