We are the University of Cumbria, for and from Cumbria and our localities, rooted in and serving our communities. We are a university for our region with people, place and partnership at our heart. We are also a university that is growing.

Diversification of our academic portfolio and activities, an expanding apprenticeship offer, bold campus developments, and strategic partnership working are driving this growth, informed by both regional and national sector skills needs. Our University Strategy: Towards 2030, articulates our ambition to deliver inspirational, inclusive and accessible higher education to students and communities for generations to come, and from a robust financial position we look forward to the future with excitement and confidence.

To help us deliver against our ambitions we are thrilled to be recruiting for three new Pro Vice Chancellor positions to enhance our senior leadership capabilities and expertise in research & knowledge exchange, portfolio management and innovation, and the student journey.

In our Pro Vice-Chancellor - Research & Knowledge Exchange, we are looking for an experienced senior, strategic leader to realise our ambitions for the Research & Knowledge Exchange portfolio. You will have line management responsibilities for our Head of Research & Knowledge Exchange (who leads the Directorate of Research & Knowledge Exchange) and the Head of Graduate School.

Success will be demonstrated through delivering growth and improvement of Research activities. These include leading future REF submission and driving growth of the Graduate School. You will develop long-term and sustainable policies and procedures, providing strategic oversight for the University's five institutes, its research centres and hubs.

A proven track record of senior-level leadership and demonstrable growth and improvement in Research and Knowledge Exchange portfolio. Key to your success will be your ability to effectively lead multidisciplinary groups and develop collaborative partnerships.

Now is a very exciting time to be joining us. For further information and details of how to apply for this strategically influential role please visit: or contact Simon Critchley on or at
