You will be able to demonstrate extensive professional experience and the ability to make substantial contributions to leadership in the School. You will have excellent networking skills which you use to seek out opportunities for collaboration, both internally and externally. You will also be able to demonstrate the ability to generate external funding through research grants, contracts or other sources.
