The University of Bath has put research power and research impact at the centre of its new strategy. The role of Associate Dean (Research) within the Faculty is critical in delivering a vibrant research environment and leading an internationally recognised portfolio of research. As a member of the Faculty Executive team, the AD(R) will provide clear and effective leadership, promoting a sense of collegiality and ambition, encouraging productivity and ensuring the Faculty delivers its agreed Business plan. (S)he will deputise for the Dean when appropriate.
The Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences has a broad research portfolio. This exciting opportunity to support the Dean in developing and growing the impact of this portfolio offers real developmental challenges for the right research-active academic.
This appointment is for a defined period of 3 years and the successful appointee will receive an additional responsibility allowance which recognises the broad remit of this leadership role. On completion of this fixed period the postholder would move back into their senior academic role.
Both the Faculty and the University are committed to providing a supportive and inclusive working environment. We are working to improve the present gender balance within the university and particularly welcome applications from women, who are currently under-represented in senior academic posts.
For informal enquiries about the post please contact the Dean, Professor David Galbreath.
