Lecturer sustainable business

Your passion to bring theory and practice of sustainability together for (young) professionals in the world of hospitality

Sustainability has become an increasingly important aspect in all realms of society and also in the hospitality industry. In both the bachelor and master program offered at our school, sustainability will therefore play a more important role in the curriculum. Topics in this domain include: sustainable development, sustainable business models, application of the UN Sustainable Development Goals and the 5 P’s, regenerative business and systems thinking. Besides a theoretical approach of the subject matter, much attention is paid to the practical application of this knowledge in various areas of hospitality management and initiatives on our campus.

We are currently in a three-year process of embedding sustainability systemically at our school, using the Whole School Approach (WSA). You will be part of group of colleagues dedicated to implementing this plan, working closely with one other colleague specialized sustainable business. Within the process of carrying out the planned changes and initiatives, your input and expertise would prove of great value at this specific step of our endeavour.
Your next step in sustainability and hospitality!

That’s why you will feel at home at Hotel Management School Maastricht

One of the characteristics of Hotel Management School Maastricht is our strong community: our students not only study on our campus, but they also live there during the first year of their studies and gain practical experience in the Teaching Hotel Chateau Bethlehem.
You will be included in this community and you feel at home in a dynamic and international academic environment. Maastricht is therefore also the location for your work as a lecturer.

You are internationally oriented and endorse the importance of good education. Small-scale and intensive education is your approach. Experience or education as a lecturer is not necessary; we will take care of your development to a good higher education lecturer.
To students, you are a source of inspiration and a role model; to colleagues, a valued team player, bringing positive energy and contributing to the education of future generation managers in the hospitality industry.
You have a master’s degree and relevant knowledge and experience in the topic of sustainability – preferably in the hospitality industry.
