A culturally rich university with a palpable commitment to the public good, it strives to maintain a stimulating and inclusive environment where staff and students are able to thrive. The university is a vibrant, multicultural hub of learning, creativity and innovation that never surrenders to convention. Our success is built on a fantastic student experience coupled with award-winning teaching and world-class facilities that help students develop the skills and attitudes employers demand.

The post holder will also manage research within the faculty of Computing, Engineering and Media, working with the Associate Dean for Research and Innovation in the faculty and the institute leads to support bids from that faculty. The role will be critical to enriching the research environment at DMU.
