Our interdisciplinary thinking, inventive education, and cutting-edge, world-class facilities enable us to forge connections with national and international industries and organisations, develop new businesses, and support the next generation of leaders and thinkers. 

The School of Humanities with a world-class reputation for research, and with the majority of departments ranked in the top 10 in their fields in REF 2021, is looking for a Head of School Humanities to drive our strategy and develop a forward-facing and impactful vision that is aligned with the University’s and Faculty’s strategic priorities, objectives, and values.

Do you have a comprehensive understanding of humanities in a 21st Century University context? 

If so, we want to hear from you. 

What we can offer you 

Committed to supporting our teaching and research community we are open to a flexible working approach. With an understanding that there is a need to be on campus for performing duties, we are open to a hybrid approach. 

We also offer additional benefits that will make your life easier, such as a generous holiday allowance and additional university closure days. We will support your long-term future too, with access to the Universities Superannuation Scheme (USS), subsidised health and fitness facilities, and a range of discounts. 

As a university, we aim to create an inclusive environment that attracts, supports, and retains the best students and staff from diverse backgrounds and experiences from across the world. We are proactive in fostering a culture of inclusion, respect, and equality of opportunity.
