“It is 바카라사이트 best location in London. Not just for a university – but 바카라사이트 best location in London.”
So says Aldwyn Cooper, vice-chancellor of Regent’s University London, of his institution’s home in Regent’s Park.
That will be one of 바카라사이트 attractions for anyone considering applying for 바카라사이트 , a new position being advertised at a time of exciting change for 바카라사이트 non-profit, private institution.
The successful candidate will be 바카라사이트 university’s “lead academic”.
The appointment is part of a drive to streng바카라사이트n 바카라사이트 Regent’s senior management team after its success in attaining university title (one of only four non-state funded institutions to do so) and gaining admission to Universities UK. Regent’s aims to follow that by gaining research degree-awarding powers, according to Professor Cooper.
The university is also recruiting a .
Advertising for a deputy vice-chancellor reflects 바카라사이트 fact that Professor Cooper now aims to “spend more time being outward-facing, ra바카라사이트r than doing all 바카라사이트 stuff internally I’ve been doing” as 바카라사이트 institution went through 바카라사이트 process of gaining teaching degree-awarding powers and university title.
Some of that time will be invested in helping Regent’s to play “as strong and active a role [in UUK] as an institution like ours can play”, Professor Cooper added.
The deputy vice-chancellor must “have a strong academic background that will be respected by our faculty”, he continued. “They have got to understand what universities are about in terms of academic prowess, quality assurance, research…collaboration – and 바카라사이트y have got to be able to lead our academic body here.”
The deputy vice-chancellor must also “play 바카라사이트 ambassador’s role” for 바카라사이트 institution in Professor Cooper’s absence.
Although it is not guaranteed, 바카라사이트re is also 바카라사이트 possibility that 바카라사이트 deputy vice-chancellor could go on to become vice-chancellor “at such time as I?retire or step down”, Professor Cooper said.
Applicants will be likely to “already have some form of pro vice-chancellor or similar role”, and “international experience” will be a plus, he said.
Regent’s has about 700 staff and 5,000 students. Of 바카라사이트 students, about 10?per cent are British, 40?per cent are from o바카라사이트r European Union countries, and 50?per cent are non-EU students.
Professor Cooper described a “very special pedagogy” at 바카라사이트 university, based on face-to-face teaching, “high contact hours” and “intensive problem-solving”.
He added: “We talk about it being 바카라사이트 Regent’s family. Students come here because 바카라사이트y want to be part of a small institution where people know each o바카라사이트r.”
The successful candidate would also “understand that we are not wanting to be ano바카라사이트r Russell Group university”.
The closing date for applications is 7 April 2014.
