Associate Pro-Vice-Chancellor roles open for applications

Colleagues are invited to apply for one of four new and existing Associate Pro-Vice-Chancellor (APVC) roles supporting the delivery of the sustainability and growth plans at the heart of the University strategy.

With APVC recently replacing our Dean title, the roles will assist Pro-Vice-Chancellors not currently supported by these roles with delivering important strategic projects. The advertised roles are all part-time, with the three new posts adding up to a total of 0.8 FTE.

The roles are being advertised internally only, and are ideal development opportunities for colleagues who want experience in academic leadership as part of the University’s senior leadership team.
