Bristol, United Kingdom University of Bristol Full time

The University of Bristol is a world-leading research-intensive institution with a clear mission to address society’s greatest challenges and make a positive impact both locally and globally. We are a top ten UK university and 55th in the world (QS Rankings 2024), and achieved a Silver rating in the 2023 Teaching Excellence Framework. Our people - our researchers, alumni and partners - are passionate, committed and inventive, and bring these qualities to tackle issues that are complex and multi-dimensional in a rapidly evolving world.

Our University Vision and Strategy was launched in 2022, with the mission to be a world-leading research-intensive university making impactful contributions to global societal challenges. We have had huge success in this area over the last few years, and there is much more to come: Isambard-AI, expected to be the most powerful supercomputer in the UK, will open at the National Composites Centre in the summer of 2024, for example, and The Temple Quarter Enterprise Campus, part of the largest urban regeneration programme in Europe, will open in 2026.

In this exciting time of development, we are looking to appoint an inspiring Pro Vice-Chancellor Research and Innovation to drive Bristol’s disciplinary and interdisciplinary research and innovation excellence. Reporting to the DVC and working closely with the rest of the University Executive Board, they will lead the University Research and Innovation Strategy and have responsibility for shaping research and innovation activities across the institution. They will oversee the University Research Institutes and REF2029 preparations, lead on our spin-out and enterprise activities, and play a key role in the development of the Temple Quarter Enterprise Campus. This is a critical role for the University and the new PVC Research and Innovation will be able to build on a real position of strength and collaboration.
