Job Details
It is in this context that we are seeking to appoint three new Executive Deans for our Faculties who will be at the heart of leading and driving this ambitious strategy. As integral members of the University's senior management Executive, the Executive Deans are key academic leaders, policy-formulators, opinion-shapers and ambassadors for our Faculties. As such, we are looking to appoint exceptional individuals who are not afraid to challenge convention, push boundaries, and foster partnerships across geographies and sectors.
The Executive Dean of the Faculty of Social Sciences and Health will be responsible for the strategic development and financial performance of the Faculty. A diverse community of almost 250 academic and research staff, 4,700 undergraduates and 3,300 postgraduates, the Faculty is nationally and globally leading, with all of its established Schools and Departments featuring in the Top 10 in the UK and the Top 100 Globally; with 25% in the Global Top 10.
Therefore, it is essential that the Executive Dean not only possesses an excellent reputation in research and teaching, but also has proven leadership and management credentials. Additionally, the Executive Dean is expected to play an extensive ambassadorial role both for the Faculty, its constituent units and the University as a whole, so will need to be able to inspire those around them and build relationships both internally and externally.
Salary: Competitive salary based on our relevant pay scales.
Location: Durham City, UK.
