Deputy Vice-chancellor and Provost

**Appointment of Deputy Vice-Chancellor and Provost, University of York**

The University of York is a world-leading institution. A member of the prestigious Russell Group, we are a dynamic, research-intensive university. We work collaboratively in partnership with institutions across the world to develop life-saving discoveries and new technologies that tackle some of the most pressing global challenges. Our 30+ academic departments undertake ground-breaking research that underpins our inspiring teaching and challenges students to dream big, think critically and change the world.

We pride ourselves on our sense of community and, whilst we have grown, we have retained the legacy of a connected, cohesive and purposeful community working together to make a real difference in the world. Our founding commitment was to be a University for the public good, that we combine academic excellence with social purpose, and we reaffirm that commitment in our principles of excellence, equality and opportunity. We want our research and the skills our graduates take with them to improve human life and conditions. We care about widening access to the University more than almost anything else. And we pride ourselves on our sense of community that binds us around these shared purposes. These purposes form the basis of our University Strategy and everything we do.

This is an exciting time to join the University as we embark on delivering the University Strategy 2030. This will be delivered through curiosity-driven and action-orientated Research, Education that empowers, local commitment on a global scale, and an inclusive community without limits. Underpinning this ambition is a commitment to a set of principles which will act as our moral compass: collaboration across disciplines; internationalism; equality, diversity and inclusion; and environmental sustainability. The appointment of our next Deputy Vice-Chancellor and Provost is paramount to the delivery of this institutional vision.

The University of York strives to achieve a University Executive that is representative of the rich and diverse communities we serve; our next Deputy Vice-Chancellor & Provost should fully align themselves with that aim, and we would particularly welcome expressions of interest from those who would broaden our outlook and bring new perspectives to the Executive.
