Head of School vacancies

Monday, 02 November 2015

The University is seeking two Heads of Schools – a Head of School in the School of Humanities and and a Head of School in the School of Arts and Communication Design from 1 August 2016. The roles are open to internal applicants only.

The two roles are open to internal applicants only. Candidates within the Schools and across the university can submit a statement of interest and suitability (2 pages max) to recruitment@reading.ac.uk by Friday 20 November 2015.

The role of the Head of School is changing as a result of our work on revising our academic structures, changes to the academic planning and resource allocation model and the Professional and Administrative Services Review. Responsible for providing the School’s academic leadership, the Heads of School will also contribute to the broader leadership within the wider University.

A more detailed job specification can be found here:

SF10737, Head of School – Humanities

SF 10738, Head of School – Arts and Communication Design

The Vice-Chancellor will also consult with colleagues within the Schools to seek their views. Candidates are therefore strongly encouraged to speak to colleagues within the relevant School  prior to submitting an application.

For any informal conversation about the role(s), please contact Pro-Vice-Chancellor, Prof Robert Van de Noort.
