Head of School of Computer Science and Mathematics

Keele University has international reach, a reputation for world-class research, high quality research-led education and an outstanding student experience. The University has invested heavily over the past 10 years in its campus and infrastructure, including a digital and data focused Innovation Centre (IC7). Keele is large enough to have high impact and profile, but small enough to sustain its commitment to community and individuals.

Our School of Computer Science and Mathematics comprises circa 35 academic staff and 950 students with a long standing tradition for teaching and research. As our next Head of School and active member of the Faculty Leadership Team, you will bring fresh thinking and a bold vision to deliver growth and enhance the student experience. You will be a transformative leader who encourages a high performance and innovative culture that positions students’ expectations at the centre and enables internationally recognised, impactful research. 

To apply, you will be a computer scientist with successful leadership experience in an academic environment and a personal track record of research. As an all-round and inclusive academic leader, you will be equally committed to research, teaching and students, with the ability to motivate and inspire others. You will be a strategic thinker with a creative approach and excellent problem solving skills that will ultimately position the University of Keele as a market leader and destination of choice for home and overseas students.
