The University of Portsmouth is an ambitious institution with a track record of success. One of only four universities in the south east of England to achieve a Gold rating in the Teaching Excellence Framework and ranked in the top 150 in the Times Higher Young University World Rankings.

The post of Executive Dean is a senior academic leadership role within the University. Directly accountable to the Senior Deputy Vice-Chancellor, you will have overall responsibility for setting the strategic direction of the faculty in line with the University vision. You will provide inspirational leadership, management and planning for the faculty and its constituent academic areas.

It is an exciting time as we have launched our 2030 Vision and 2025 Strategy and look to become the UK’s top modern university and one of the top 100 young universities in the world.

You will lead the development and delivery of ground-breaking educational partnerships and research, providing inspirational leadership and management of the Faculty. As a member of the University Executive Board you will contribute to key decision making in the best interests of the University and will be expected to take an institutional view.

Leadership of strategic cross-University initiatives and projects will be undertaken as agreed with the Vice-Chancellor and Senior Deputy Vice-Chancellor. Whereas the Executive Dean you assume leadership, you will report directly to the Vice Chancellor on these initiatives and projects. You will have a professorial or equivalent professional profile and may engage in teaching, scholarship or research activity although this is unlikely to exceed 10% of your time.
