Imperial College London is one of the world’s great universities, renowned for ground-breaking research, a highly talented community of staff, students and alumni, with international reach. Our mission is to achieve enduring excellence in research and education in science, engineering, medicine, and business, for the benefit of society.
We were founded in 1907 with a mission ‘To be useful’ – but we know that before anyone can usefully change something, they first need to understand it. That’s what we do here: we use science to try to understand more of the universe and improve the lives of more people in it. Since our founding, we have sought to be not only a world-leading university, but a world-changing one. We have combined our tremendous strength in science, engineering, medicine and business (STEMB) with scientific discovery, innovation and entrepreneurship, to create real-world impact.. The research and innovations we produce are helping to navigate some of the world’s toughest challenges in global health, climate change, AI, business leadership and more.
Our new strategy, Science for Humanity, is unashamedly ambitious in seeking to maximise Imperial’s potential as a force for good in the world. Our Imperial Class of 2030 programme will nurture the most talented, the most enterprising and most diverse graduating class we have ever served; the next phase of our White City Deep Tech Campus will be a powerful engine for investment, inclusive economic growth and job creation; and four new cross-institutional Schools of Convergence Science will bring focus and research impact to the emergent forces shaping our future at unprecedented scale: climate, energy and sustainability; human and AI; health, medtech and robotics; space, security science and telecommunications.
To achieve our strategy, we need exceptional academic leadership at the highest level, and the role of Provost and Deputy President role represents a crucial appointment for Imperial's future success. The Provost and Deputy President will work with the President to lead and drive Imperial's academic mission. The role carries responsibility for the day-to-day oversight of Imperial’s academic affairs and is instrumental in driving forward the institution’s academic mission and ensuring excellence across our teaching and research portfolio.
We are seeking an outstanding individual with the credibility, leadership and capabilities to help shape Imperial's future. Your leadership will be vital in fostering an environment in which our academic community can thrive and deliver on our strategic ambitions. You will have an international academic reputation in a relevant disciplinary field, and be able to command respect across the university community in order to drive forward Imperial's ambitious vision.
