Building on our excellence. Investing in our future.

Welcome to the University of Leeds – a place where inspirational learning and teaching has gone hand in hand with brilliant research for more than a century. We have long been recognised as one of the UK's leading universities and regularly rank in the world top 100. Now we are embarking on an ambitious journey to do even more, even better.

As part of a £23m strategic investment in academic leadership, we are seeking exceptional individuals who combine internationally leading research and innovation with outstanding student education. We want leaders who are thrilled by the prospect of joining our vibrant and diverse campus, which hosts over 32,000 students and 7,500 staff from more than 140 countries.

Our strong, enduring reputation reflects the major impact we have already had on the world stage. We work closely with business, charities, other institutions and the public sector to yield massive social, economic, scientific and cultural benefits.

We are looking for motivational leaders who can develop teams of colleagues, researchers and students to create truly globally-impacting work, and who will encourage them to shout about their achievements.
