Dame Nancy Rothwell is to step down as?president and vice-chancellor of?바카라사이트 University of Manchester, ending a?14-year reign in?2024, 바카라사이트 university’s bicentenary year.
Philippa Hird, 바카라사이트 chair of 바카라사이트 board of?governors at?Manchester, said that Dame Nancy’s decision to?leave at?바카라사이트 end of?her current contract – which expires in?summer 2024 – had long been planned and that 바카라사이트 search for her successor will begin shortly.
“Under her leadership, 바카라사이트 university continues to develop as a world-leading centre of teaching and learning excellence, a?research powerhouse, and is setting new standards for social responsibility,” Ms Hird said.
“Nancy has also made an outstanding contribution to higher education through her sector and national roles.”
A neuroscientist, Dame Nancy was 바카라사이트 first woman to lead a redbrick university. She once said her motto was to “break 바카라사이트 rules and see what happens”.
A former vice-president for research at Manchester and 바카라사이트 chair of 바카라사이트 Research Defence Society, she was appointed to 바카라사이트 top position in July 2010.
Communicating 바카라사이트 benefits of science has been a key hallmark of her tenure, and she has been a powerful advocate for female leadership as well as 바카라사이트 importance of universities in Manchester and 바카라사이트 north of England.
She was appointed a dame in 바카라사이트 2005 Birthday Honours, and in 2013, BBC Radio?4’s Woman’s Hour programme ranked her as 바카라사이트 15th most powerful woman in 바카라사이트 UK.
Ms Hird said identifying a successor to take over at 바카라사이트 world-leading university was of “great significance”.
“Although it will be 2024 before any leadership transition occurs, we are embarking on a global search for her successor, which inevitably takes time to complete,” she added.
“It will be an inclusive process, with staff, students and alumni from within 바카라사이트 institution and our wider stakeholder community being invited to help inform 바카라사이트 requirements for our next president and vice-chancellor. We expect 바카라사이트 full search process to take at least 바카라사이트 remainder of this calendar year.”
The university will be marking 200 years since its formation in 2024, having traced its earliest origins back to 1824.
“Nancy will continue to lead 바카라사이트 university as president and vice-chancellor until summer 2024 with her customary drive, skill and rigour, and I?look forward to working with her over that time,” Ms Hird said.
