Cambridge, United Kingdom ARU Full time

About ARU:

ARU is a global university transforming lives through innovative, inclusive and entrepreneurial education and research. ARU holds a Gold award for the quality of its education, awarded through the Teaching Excellence Framework (TEF).
ARUs research institutes and four faculties bridge scientific, technical and creative fields. We deliver impactful research which tackles pressing issues and makes a real difference to our communities. Our academic excellence has been recognised by the UKs Higher Education funding bodies, with 16 of our research areas assessed as world leading. We are the largest provider of Nursing, Midwifery, Health and Social Care students in the East of England, and we are also among the UKs leading universities for degree apprenticeship provision, working with hundreds of employers across the UK.

About the Role:

This is an exciting time to join ARU and an outstanding opportunity to help shape the future direction of the Faculty of Arts, Humanities, Education and Social Sciences. Over the last five years we have grown significantly by seizing opportunities and responding to national priorities and needs of our local partners. Our new Pro Vice Chancellor and Dean of the Faculty of Arts, Humanities, Education and Social Sciences will provide strategic leadership and management for the Faculty across education, research and innovation and external engagement. Reporting to the Vice Chancellor, and as a member of the University Executive Team, they will actively contribute to the development and achievement of the universitys overall strategy. They will also lead on the development of innovative and effective partnerships in the UK and internationally.

We are keen to hear from candidates who bring a proven track record of delivery in a senior academic or senior (related) professional sector role. Candidates will be able to evidence a compelling academic profile and track record of research in a discipline relevant to the Faculty. Candidates must have credibility with key stakeholders and have substantial experience of building and maintaining external relationships with employers, professional bodies, and other key stakeholders. A PhD or equivalent in a relevant subject area is essential.

This is a professorial appointment. Individuals joining us from another UK university, already holding the title of Professor awarded by that university, will have that Professorship recognised, subject to ratification by the Vice Chancellor. 

Please note: If the applicant is not currently a professor at another UK University, it may be possible to recruit to a professorship subject to meeting ARUs Professorial Framework criteria. Applicants are required to read the attached Professorial Appointment Pack, attach their academic CV, provide the necessary references and complete the Professorial Appointment Review form included in the pack.
