The British Academy – the UK’s national body for the humanities and social sciences - is seeking a Deputy Head of International to join our international department, providing key leadership in the delivery and management of high-quality performance across a range of the Academy’s international special projects including the Researchers at Risk Fellowships and a new training and development programme.

The role

The Deputy Head of International (Special Projects) will work closely with the Head of International and the three other Deputy Heads of International in the delivery of the Team’s strategic goals and mitigating the risks faced in delivering the Academy’s international programmes and activities. The role will also include engaging with external partners, stakeholders, funded researchers and representing the Academy externally.  

You will lead a small team across a range of programmes and have excellent planning, financial, communication, organisational, and time management skills, providing support and advice to colleagues and senior leadership.

The British Academy’s international team promotes and supports international collaboration and mobility, develops and maintains links with sister academies, international organisations and other partners overseas, and leverages the expertise of Fellows and award-holders to further the Academy’s reach, impact and influence internationally.

The Academy’s international programmes are multi-year endeavours which entail a wide array of activities: from providing research funding to talented individuals in the UK and overseas, to informing international policy and public debates, to using the Academy’s convening power to showcase the value of international and interdisciplinary collaborations for addressing today’s global challenges and ensuring that the UK maintains its place as a world-leader in the social sciences and humanities.

With a Fellowship of around 1,400 leading national and international academics, the Academy invests in researchers and projects across the UK and overseas; engages the public with fresh thinking and debates; and brings together scholars, government, business, and civil society to influence policy.

The Academy currently has five directorates: Communications & Marketing; Development; Policy; Research; and Resources, plus a small Governance & Fellowship Team. We have increased staffing in the last 12 months and expect to continue to grow this year.

Working at the Academy

Our senior management team have worked with staff to foster a culture of collaboration, respect, and empathy, in which all contributions are recognised as we work towards our common goals. Our people strategy and working practices focus on building strengths and sharing insights, with learning & development, wellbeing, and equality, diversity & inclusion at the centre of how we operate as an organisation. Investing in our staff and encouraging a healthy work/life balance is central to our success, as we move forward and continue to grow.

Terms and conditions
