Our interdisciplinary thinking, inventive education and cutting-edge,

This is an exciting time to join us. Our President and Vice-Chancellor,

excellence, internationalisation and sustainability. You will have a deep
understanding of the global Higher Education sector, as well as a proven
ability to lead and manage innovative change throughout an organisation.
You will be able to think both analytically and creatively, handle
complexity and empower and support people, while cultivating and
leading diverse teams.

We are committed to supporting and promoting equality and diversity by

attracting, developing, and retaining staff from many different
backgrounds to create an inclusive working environment. We are proud to
have been awarded an institutional Athena SWAN silver award which

We support a flexible approach to work, as well as additional benefits that
