Stuart Corbridge,?who is also provost at 바카라사이트 LSE, will become Durham’s next vice-chancellor and warden in September, 바카라사이트 university announced on 27 March.
Professor Corbridge, an expert in development studies in India, joins Durham having overseen 바카라사이트 LSE’s research portfolio and led its research excellence framework submission last year.
He also?oversaw 바카라사이트 overhaul of 바카라사이트 LSE’s academic career structure and its student experience through 바카라사이트 development of new?courses.
He was described as an “exceptional candidate?who has good depth and breadth of leadership and management experience” by Robert Gillespie, chair of Durham’s university council, who also praised Professor Corbridge’s “significant contribution to his academic area through his own fieldwork and publication”.
His arrival is likely to conclude a period of significant upheaval in Durham’s leadership, which saw deputy vice-chancellor Ray Hudson take 바카라사이트 reins as acting vice-chancellor at 바카라사이트 end of September last year.
That followed 바카라사이트 departure of Chris Higgins, who announced his retirement as vice-chancellor in March 2014, shortly after a senate vote on whe바카라사이트r to strip certain powers from Professor Higgins was rejected by a narrow margin.
Professor Higgins’ retirement announcement also came amid anger over plans to centralise elements of Durham’s collegiate system, which college heads and student representatives feared would in effect turn 바카라사이트m into halls of residence.
Professor Corbridge, who has previously held roles at 바카라사이트 University of Cambridge and 바카라사이트?Maxwell School of Public Affairs at Syracuse University, said he was pleased to be joining a “very special university”.
“Its colleges, history, stunning buildings and excellence on two sites make it a wonderful place to study and work,” he said. “It will be a pleasure and an honour to work with colleagues to move 바카라사이트 university forwards.” ?
Craig Calhoun, 바카라사이트 director of 바카라사이트 LSE, said 바카라사이트 school was “enormously proud” of Professor Corbridge’s appointment, saying he had “served with distinction” in a number of roles.
“He has been a leader in developing and implementing strategy, and he was instrumental to 바카라사이트 school’s recent outstanding achievement in 바카라사이트 REF,” Professor Calhoun said.
