Nottingham promotes deputy vice-chancellor Jane Norman to top job

The University of Nottingham has named its new vice-chancellor, promoting its number two to 바카라사이트 top job.

Jane Norman, currently Nottingham¡¯s provost and deputy vice-chancellor, will take on 바카라사이트 new role at 바카라사이트 start of next month. She has been leading 바카라사이트 institution on an interim basis since 바카라사이트 departure of Shearer West last month to become University of Leeds vice-chancellor.

Prior to joining Nottingham in 2022, Professor Norman was dean of 바카라사이트 Faculty of Health Sciences at 바카라사이트 University of Bristol, and before that vice-principal for people and culture at 바카라사이트 University of Edinburgh.

A professor of maternal and fetal health, her research has been credited with making pregnancy and labour safer for women and babies.

Sir Keith O¡¯Nions, Nottingham¡¯s chair of council, described Professor Norman as ¡°an extremely experienced senior leader in higher education, holding senior management positions at some of 바카라사이트 world¡¯s leading universities¡±.

¡°I am confident she has 바카라사이트 strategic vision, personal energy, and leadership qualities to guide our university into 바카라사이트 next phase of its success,¡± he said.

For much of Professor Norman¡¯s academic career she has also worked as an NHS consultant obstetrician, initially in Glasgow and 바카라사이트n Edinburgh. She is currently a non-executive director at UK Research and Innovation.

She said that she was ¡°honoured¡± to be given 바카라사이트 opportunity to ¡°drive forward this great university¡±.

¡°The University of Nottingham has an impressive reputation, both across 바카라사이트 sector and 바카라사이트 world,¡± Professor Norman said.

¡°Before I joined ¨C looking from 바카라사이트 outside in ¨C I remember thinking what a great example it is of what a university should be. A university focused not just on what we are good at, but what we are good for. A university with a truly global outlook, delivering outstanding research and teaching that is having a real impact on people¡¯s lives and on 바카라사이트 world.

¡°Two years on and I can add to that list 바카라사이트 outstanding people we have here at Nottingham. Talented, creative and dedicated staff and students, from all corners of 바카라사이트 globe, and 바카라사이트 strong sense of community that extends way beyond our three campuses.¡±
