You have the ambition to stay up to date with the field and translate your passion for new developments,

trends and innovations into engaging learning experiences for students, both in a professional and teaching capacity.

You inspire your students to look beyond boundaries, see opportunities, and discover how to apply what they learned and thus develop themselves into a much sought-after professional.

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

You will be included in this community and thrive in a dynamic and international learning environment.

You have an entrepreneurial, research-minded and innovative mindset and endorse the importance of good education.

Small-scale and intensive education is your approach.

To students, you are a source of inspiration and a role model; to colleagues, you are a valued team player, bringing fresh ideas, positive energy, and a drive to contribute to the education of future generation managers in the hospitality industry.

Your tasks

You will contribute to further developing and modernising (including digitalising) the educational bachelor programme with your colleagues. Besides lecturing, you will also guide project assignments and applied research projects.

You will coach students in their study progress, in community building and during their internships. In this way, you help students grow not only as professionals but also as confident, responsible human beings ready for their future.

You have excellent social skills, strong didactical and pedagogical abilities (or at least the talent to inspire and engage students), the ability to work independently, and a proactive problem-solving attitude. Together with your colleagues, you prepare talented students for today's and tomorrow’s international hospitality world. We expect you to hold a Master's degree (or the willingness to obtain one within 2 years) in the area of hotel management, hospitality business and/or marketing.
