Associate Dean Research, Faculty Of Health And Medicine; Fhm

Reference: 0669-26

Please note:

this job is only available to current employees of Lancaster University

We are seeking an individual with research leadership experience gained for example, as part of the senior management team of a Division, project leadership, or work with external research bodies. The role is designed to support the highly successful and growing research portfolio in FHM. You will help create interdisciplinary opportunities for others across the health and medicine space and contribute to an excellent research culture.

You should also hold a research record in Health and Medicine and ability to lead research in the sector. The role will be an integral part of a new Associate Dean structure being developed for FHM and FST and, thus, represents a significant leadership opportunity extending beyond the faculty. The role will make a major difference to our communities through promoting a positive research culture and helping individuals achieve success.

The role represents a commitment that amounts to a 50% workload. The reward package is detailed below.

• Newly appointed Associate Deans will receive the agreed unconsolidated salary uplift. This is equivalent to one increment on the professorial scale or two increments on the main pay scale.
• After 18 months in post, an Associate Dean’s performance will be reviewed by the PVC using the Associate Dean mid-term review form.
• The outcome of a successful review will see the salary uplift consolidated and become superannuable.
• All Associate Deans will receive a £3,000 allowance to support their research, scholarly activity, and/or educational enhancement.
• All eligible Associate Deans can be considered for an additional term of sabbatical/research and scholarship leave if this would act to support their research trajectory and outputs.
• The appointment is for four years in the first instance, renewable for one further term of up to four years, subject to satisfactory performance in the role.

We anticipate a start date as soon as possible ahead of the next academic year.
