This senior leadership appointment will shape and have overarching responsibility for the strategic direction of research and innovation across the entire Faculty. A central priority will be to lead the refresh and delivery of the Faculty’s Research and Innovation Strategy, ensuring alignment with the University’s Vision 2041, the developing pan-University Institute for Future Health, and future REF ambitions.

As a key member of the Faculty Executive Team, you will lead a research and innovation mission built around delivering measurable improvements in human and animal health, and dependent on breaking down the boundaries between disciplines, and between knowledge and its application. From infectious disease and antimicrobial resistance to cardiometabolic health, healthy ageing and the future of clinical care, in this role you will have the platform, the ambition and the institutional backing to ensure our research is bold, internationally competitive and genuinely transformative.

The successful postholder will be an established professorial academic with a sustained record of research excellence, significant income generation and demonstrable external impact in a discipline relevant to the Faculty. An inclusive and collaborative leader, you will be able to set a compelling strategic direction, lead through influence, use evidence and data to drive performance, quality and impact, and build partnerships with relevant external organisations including funders and healthcare providers.

You will be joining a diverse, welcoming and genuinely collaborative community, at a university with the ambition of a rising global player.

This is a permanent Professorial level academic appointment, with the ADR&I role responsibility held for an initial period of five years with potential for a further extension. Following completion of the ADR&I tenure the post holder will return to a standard academic portfolio, although further leadership roles will offer opportunities for continued career progression.
