Founded in 2008, the Humanitarian and Conflict Response Institute (HCRI) is a leading global institute dedicated to interdisciplinary research and education.

In doing so, HCRI brings together scholars from over 10 disciplines (history, history of medicine, peace studies, development studies, sociology, geography, anthropology, politics, epidemiology, emergency medicine) to advance innovative research and evidence-based approaches to effectively respond to these complex challenges. The new Executive Director will have the opportunity to provide leadership to help shape the strategic direction and business plan for the Institute, lead on external facing activities with key global partners and provide academic leadership to ensure high quality research outputs.
The successful candidate will be able to demonstrate the requisite leadership skills and management experience to provide inspirational and effective leadership to HCRI. As a Professor at UoM, they will also demonstrate a record of success in securing competitive research funding and conducting world-leading and methodologically rigorous research. They will also demonstrate an ability to engage with the Institute's range of thematic expertise in humanitarian and conflict response, global humanitarian health, and disaster management. They will share the Universities commitment to fostering an inclusive and nurturing culture in which all colleagues and students have the opportunity to thrive and progress their careers.
