We're particularly interested in candidates who are naturally curious, enjoy learning new technologies and are excited by the potential of data, automation and AI to transform services. You'll have a strong eye for detail, take pride in producing accurate work and be motivated by finding opportunities to improve the way things are done.

If you're someone who enjoys working collaboratively, values continuous improvement and wants to make a tangible difference to the student experience, we'd love to hear from you.

Building on our distinctive diversity in health professions and sciences, our aim is to develop outstanding graduates and researchers with a core ethos of team science, driving substantial growth in our research activity, innovation and impact.

The Opportunity

We are now seeking an exceptional Head of School of Biosciences to lead the School through its next phase of growth, visibility and distinction. This is a key leadership role at a pivotal moment for biosciences, healthcare and translational research in Surrey and across the region.

Our ambition is to grow the School of Biosciences as a leading centre for research-informed education, discovery and innovation.
