New Dean of Internationalisation and Head of ISLI role

Applications are open for a new post of Dean of Internationalisation and Head of International Study and Language Institute (ISLI).

This replaces the current Head of ISLI post, held by Professor David Carter, who will soon complete his six-year term.

The post is being advertised internally only at this stage.

About the role

The new role has been created to help deliver the University’s internationalisation objectives, including ensuring ISLI plays a key role in growing international student numbers.

The postholder will also be responsible for providing ISLI’s academic leadership and resource and operational management, and engaging with external organisations and our overseas campuses.

As this is a new role, the successful applicant will be recruited on an initial two-year fixed term basis, commencing in the Spring Term from 1 January 2024. This shorter fixed term basis will be in place while the new Internationalisation and Global Engagement Strategic Plan is developed, after which there will be the possibility to extend the term to the full six years.
