About Anglia Ruskin University:
Are you ready to make a difference, and lead our Health & Wellbeing Academy to meet the health service needs of our population?
Our vibrant, modern University is gaining prominence both nationally and internationally and we have ambitious plans for our future. Our main campuses in the cities of Cambridge, Chelmsford and Peterborough have been transformed with major capital investments. With an annual income of £163m, over 30,000 students and 2,000 staff, we are a major force for higher education in the East of England.
About the role:
Our Postgraduate Medical Institute (PMI) constitutes a £12M Clinical Research Centre (CRC) at the heart a network of 21 research-active partner organisations. This collaborative network supports research along the care pathway from ill-health prevention and primary care, mental health and community services to acute hospital and specialist tertiary care. Working in partnership with South Essex Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust (SEPT), the PMI will launch a Health & Wellbeing Academy later this year.
We are seeking an exceptional individual to develop and lead a Health & Wellbeing Academy that is academically credible and grounded in practice. It is our belief that, by harnessing the talents of our combined workforce, we can make a real difference to patient care and outcomes.
With a PhD, you will have experience of building and leading a significant research and education portfolio in a health-related discipline, and a profile appropriate for a professorial appointment. Providing excellence in leadership, you will develop and deliver the Academy’s strategy whereby applied health research outcomes and innovation in education are translated in meaningful clinical practice. Also, you will make a substantial contribution to our return for the forthcoming Research Excellence Framework exercise.
You will work closely with the Director of the PMI and Chief Executive of SEPT leading on key initiatives with national and international partners to expand our profile through the co-ordination of collaborative bids, projects and high impact scholarship.
We value diversity at Anglia Ruskin University and welcome applications from all sections of the community.
