Executive Dean for the School of Science & Technology

Nottingham Trent University’s (NTU’s) current strategy – University, reimagined – demonstrates our commitment to doing the right thing for our people, our communities and our environment. We are taking bold and distinctive steps to drive even greater excellence. Our academic Schools are critical in realising this vision. We are seeking to recruit an exceptional Executive Dean to lead the School of Science and Technology to succeed the current post holder, Professor Mary O’Neill, who will retire in late Summer 2024.

The School of Science & Technology is recognised nationally and internationally for delivering high-quality teaching and diverse, real-world research. We foster a culture that values the diversity of all our communities and publicises and celebrates excellence in all we do. We specialise in biosciences, chemistry, computing and technology, as well as engineering, forensic science, mathematics, physics and sport science. This mix of traditional and modern subjects encourages and inspires future innovators. By connecting these disciplines in impactful and innovative ways we seek to engender a vibrant and inclusive learning and teaching environment grounded in scholarship, research, and professional practice.

A superb strategic leader, with exceptional credentials in their field, our new Executive Dean will bring the clarity and creativity of vision and proven track record of delivery to ensure our future success. Reporting directly to the Deputy Vice-Chancellor & Provost, and forming a key part of the University Leadership and the Extended University Executive Teams, they will also contribute to the ongoing development of one of the UK’s fastest-rising universities; ensuring we maintain our place at the forefront of academic excellence and innovation. If you have the insights, experience and ambition we are looking for, we would be keen to hear from you.
