Biography
Dr Marcinko is an Associate Professor in the Department of Psychology and serves as Director of Professional Education in Behavioural Science. He began at Durham following a Postgraduate Research Associate postion at Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich, after completing his PhD in Work and Organisational Psychology at Aston Business School.
Andrew’s research explores how organisations foster authenticity, diversity, and sustainability, with a particular focus on the design and impact of equality, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) programmes. His recent work examines how behavioural insights can enhance the effectiveness of training and development in areas such as leadership, teamwork, and resilience.
Beyond academia, Andrew is an experienced executive trainer and consultant. He has collaborated with companies and organisations around the world — including Panasonic, NatWest, Jacobs, the United Nations, NASA, and the Army Research Laboratory — to apply behavioural science to real-world challenges. His consulting and training practice is evidence-based, translating cutting-edge research into practical strategies that help modern organisations unlock performance, innovation, and inclusion.
