Provost’s Visiting Professor Programme
2 months ago
one of the world’s leading institutions for research and teaching in the natural and physical sciences, medicine, engineering, and business, seeks outstanding and enthusiastic researchers and educators to join as visiting academics by appointment through the Provost’s Visiting Professor (PVP) Programme. This is a superb opportunity for academics interested in taking sabbatical leave from their current institution, to join Imperial.
The Programme has been established to broaden Imperial’s reach, by developing new relationships with exceptional individuals and their organisations. It is designed in particular to improve the diversity of our community by bringing to Imperial leading academics who will contribute to the community through scholarship, teaching and programming aligned with their research.
We are specifically looking for candidates from underrepresented groups such as Black and Minority Ethnic and female scholars. The PVP programme is one component of Imperial’s broader plan to facilitate engagement with under-represented groups at pre-college, undergraduate, graduate, postdoctoral and faculty levels, with the longer-term aim of increasing the number of academics from under-represented groups.
Building a diverse community of staff and students is one of the cornerstones of Imperial’s . Imperial is committed to improving gender diversity and racial equality. It has developed a plan to do this as part of its (REC) action plan, which aims to improve the representation, progression and success of minority ethnic staff and students at Imperial.
Applications are invited for the visiting professorships from scholars with international reputations in their fields. The annual programme will host up to four new visitors per year with appointments lasting between 6 and 12 months. Whilst not receiving a salary from their current institution during the sabbatical leave, appointees will be paid a salary at the appropriate Imperial academic scale along with a contribution towards travel and visa costs.
Visiting Professors will participate in Imperial by appointment in a host department on the basis of both their proposed research programme and their plans for engagement with the wider Imperial community through, for example, lectures and seminars in academic courses, well-publicised general-audience or public lectures, conducting workshops, or meeting with students and staff across the campuses.
We are looking for candidates with established links to the UK who have an international reputation and expertise in their field of research. They will have a sustained track record in research (. publications, patents and grants) and will have made distinctive and impactful contributions to their field.
Applicants will need to provide evidence of contributions to the development and performance of colleagues through coaching and mentoring. Additionally, the post-holder must have the experience and capability to act as a role model in areas of research, teaching and management as appropriate.
We expect the post-holder to participate fully in Imperial life, and support its objectives in equality, diversity, and inclusion. The Provost’s Visiting Professors will be visible to the community through lectures and seminars and will actively engage students and staff across Imperial.
