The holder of the chair will be hired at the level of Professor of Practice (PoP). The successful candidate will be expected to contribute to undergraduate and graduate teaching, conduct applied research addressing problems of the banking sector and develop programs with CIB that contribute to the development of innovative banking practices in Egypt.

The chair will facilitate the development of new courses that focus on the theoretical and practical aspects of retail banking.

The department of management seeks an exceptional candidate whose research complements our existing strengths in the department while transcending traditional research in the area of retail banking.

Finally, the chair will serve as a link between the school and the banking community including regulators, boards, executives and others. This will constitute an effective communication channel between academia and practice, which will take the form of workshops, conferences and other activities directed towards the development of retail banking skills of both faculty and students.
