About the role

The VP (R&E) and Dean of Graduate College is a key strategic position in the university. The role is a complex one, working with many stakeholders both internally and externally. This is by nature a peripatetic role, and this means that the VP requires a robust PA who can keep him in touch with messages, meetings and other tasks whilst away from the office. The  PA will also take responsibility for supporting the Research Professoriate in their leadership of the 3 University wide strategic  research centres of Environmental Humanities, Creative and Cultural Industries and Transnational Creativity and Education.
