A vibrant community of academics, students and professionals, the University of York is a world-leading institution with a reputation for excellent interdisciplinary research and outstanding teaching and learning. Our founding commitment was to be a university for public good, we are now embarking on an ambitious new 10 year strategy that will deliver this vision (University for Public Good ).
The Dean of the Faculty of the Social Sciences will play an instrumental role in realising our exciting vision. The role of Dean at York is changing. In 2021 we decentralised financial planning so it is now anchored in a Faculty-level process. We are also carrying out an organisational change programme, including the reorganisation of our professional services to support a more strategic capability at Faculty level. As Dean, you will manage opportunities and risks across academic departments and to drive on their Faculty’s contribution to delivering on our strategic ambitions.
