About Termez Institute of Engineering and Technology

Basic information and contact details for Termez Institute of Engineering and Technology

institution
Uzbekistan’s first dedicated agricultural university outside its capital, the Termez Institute was originally part of the long-established Tashkent State Agricultural University. The Institute serves the southernmost region of Uzbekistan. It is based in Termez, a city on the Afghan border now home to a considerable number of refugees from Afghanistan. Agriculture is a significant factor in the Uzbek economy and society, accounting for around a quarter of its economic output and 28 per cent of employment. The Institute draws on Tashkent State Agricultural University’s traditions, dating back more than 90 years. Other inheritances included Termez’s share in the national Research Centre for Plant Quarantine and a French-backed soil protection service. A modular credit base was introduced for bachelor’s degrees in 2021. Evening courses and doctoral programmes were started in 2022. Specialisms include regional soil and climate analysis, the development of profitable and export-oriented crops and resource-saving digital agricultural technology. Priority projects include the development of high-yield disease-resistant crops and advanced training for agricultural specialists. A World Bank-funded research and innovation centre was launched in 2022, along with project start-ups and demonstration plantings of pomegranates, persimmons, plums, lemons, grapes and other fruits and vegetables capable of two or three harvests annually. The Institute is controlled by the Uzbek Ministry of Agriculture.

United Kingdom, Southampton


The opportunity has arisen for a Level 6 Head of Operations, RAi UK. About RAi UK RAi UK is a £31 million national programme creating a comprehensive ecosystem for responsible AI research and innovation across the United Kingdom. Funded by UKRI, the programme spans 28 universities, 150+ non-academic partner organisations, and an international network of collaborators across 45 countries. The programme operates through five distinct funding streams — Keystone, Cornerstone, Satellite, Impact Accelerator and International Partnership projects — and is structured as a true multi-institutional consortium. RAi UK does not sit within a single institution; it convenes, coordinates and stewards a distributed national effort with a shared governance framework, shared outcomes and collective accountability to UKRI and to the public. The Opportunity This is an outstanding opportunity for an experienced operations leader to shape the infrastructure of a nationally significant research programme. As Head of Operations you will provide the organisational spine that holds a complex, multi-HEI consortium together — enabling world-class responsible AI research to happen at scale.

Critically, this role goes well beyond single-institution programme management. You will be responsible for designing and sustaining operational systems that work equitably and effectively across 20+ university partners, managing relationships with multiple institutional administrators and research offices simultaneously, and building the cross-institutional coordination capacity that a programme of this scale demands. The post will: Act as RAi UK lead on operational matters providing expert yet pragmatic advice and guidance to senior management across RAi UK Provide core input to the development of RAi UK’s Strategic Plan and related guidance to enable RAi UK to respond to changes in the UK’s AI landscape Support RAi UK’s funding and participation in large complex, often innovative projects and partnerships, yet effectively manage the risks of doing so. Have responsibility for leading a team of highly skilled professionals, actively seeking to support career progression and attract new talent, to deliver RAi UK. RAi UK is located within the School of Electronics and Computer Science, part of the Faculty of Engineering and Physical Sciences, which is at the forefront of research across all its disciplines, has an active knowledge exchange and enterprise ecosystem and a mission to provide exceptional education that prepares the next generation of engineers and scientists to tackle global challenges through collaboration with industry and research institutions. As a University we aim to create a sustainable and inclusive work environment where everyone can thrive, and we welcome applications from candidates who are committed to supporting this objective. The University holds an Athena SWAN silver award. We are also committed to sustainability and being a globally responsible organisation. The University has been awarded the Platinum EcoAward.  The University offers a generous holiday allowance, additional University closure days, and excellent family leave provisions, also pension scheme membership, subsidised health and fitness facilities and a range of discounts.  This role is offered on a fixed term basis until 31 March 2028 and is based at Highfield campus.

Guided by Vision 2040 and the Strategy Plan 2026–2030, SU pursues academic excellence, purposeful partnerships, and a transformative student experience that equips graduates to navigate and shape a complex, rapidly changing world. Central to this ambition is the capacity to respond to the pressing challenges of our time — inequality, climate change, artificial intelligence and technological disruption, and social cohesion — through research that has real societal and economic impact, and through interdisciplinary collaboration that transcends traditional boundaries. The Faculty of Education's vision is to be "acknowledged and respected unequivocally as a leading and engaged research-driven education faculty." The Faculty occupies a uniquely positioned role at the interface of higher education, the schooling sector, and broader society.

The Faculty is expected to engage not only with the schooling sector but with the full architecture of higher education, contributing to policy, system-level reform, and the development of an educational ecosystem that is inclusive, equitable, and future-ready. In a rapidly evolving landscape shaped by artificial intelligence, intellectual property considerations, curriculum transformation, and the internationalisation of higher education, the Faculty requires a Dean with a stellar publication and research profile, and the intellectual and systemic leadership to position Education as a field of genuine scholarly consequence. Internationalisation is of particular strategic importance, both as a vehicle for addressing critical skills gaps in teacher education and as a means of building the global networks and collaborative research relationships that will define the Faculty's standing. The incumbent will bring a compelling vision for inclusivity, a commitment to interdisciplinary engagement, and the capacity to lead a faculty that is research-rich, externally engaged, and deeply relevant to the societies it serves.
