At the International Centre for Guidance Studies we are recruiting a new Associate Professor.

The Associate Professor will lead the development of research and consultancy work relating to career and/or the relationship between education and work.

This is a hugely exciting new opportunity. I’d encourage people to pass it on to anyone who might be interested.
