Cardiff University was established in 1883. Our motto, Gwirionedd, Undod a Chytgord - ‘truth, unity and concord’ - sets out our founding commitment to work together to make a positive and lasting difference to our communities and continues to express our commitment today.
Based in the capital city of Wales, where education has been devolved since the creation of the National Assembly for Wales in 1999 and the Senedd in 2020, we are one of the largest universities in the UK and a member of the Russell Group. Our vision is to be a world-leading, research-excellent, and educationally outstanding university with a transformative social, cultural and economic impact on Cardiff, Wales, the UK and the world.
We are firmly grounded in our sense of place. As the largest university in Wales– and a major employer, with more than 7,000 staff – we work with society, industry and government to help overcome the most urgent challenges of our times.
We have recently celebrated the arrival of our new Vice-Chancellor, Professor Wendy Larner, the first woman in the history of the University to hold this position. We are looking forward to her leadership and Professor Larner’s development of a new strategic direction for the University.
We are now seeking to appoint our next Pro Vice-Chancellor and Head of the College of Biomedical and Life Sciences. Comprising seven academic schools with over 2,000 staff and 7,000 students, the College of Biomedical and Life Sciences is a thriving academic community which offers world-class research and learning environments. With a broad range of disciplines including the Cardiff University School of Medicine, there are many exciting opportunities for collaboration across the College, the wider University, and with external partners.
This is an outstanding opportunity for an exceptional individual to bring strategic vision and leadership to the University community as the next Pro Vice-Chancellor and Head of the College of Biomedical and Life Sciences. Candidates will bring an exceptional academic profile and will be able to demonstrate significant leadership in a large and complex organisation. They will have a consultative, collaborative and open approach, and demonstrable commitment to equality, diversity and inclusion, alongside a personal commitment to the core principles of opportunity, openness, transparency and respect for others.
The new Pro Vice-Chancellor and Head will oversee the delivery of excellent education and student experience, support the growth of the College’s research agenda and build upon its national and international reach. They will be responsible for ensuring financial and environmental sustainability and the fulfilment of our civic mission ambitions. They will also be responsible for maintaining a strong relationship with colleagues in the University Hospital of Wales and NHS more broadly.
