Situated in the centre of a beautiful cathedral city, we nurture talent and ideas, and contribute globally by creating and sharing knowledge. Our core mission is ‘transforming lives and communities, enabling a prosperous region in an inter-connected world.’
We are looking for an inspirational, entrepreneurial and collegiate Head of School to lead and manage our School of Architecture and the Built Environment though its next exciting phase of development.

They will inspire, support and work constructively with staff and students to develop the School’s reputation, and enhance its activities across teaching, research and knowledge exchange. Reporting to the PVC / Head of College of Arts, they will also play an active role in managing the College, and helping to build the profile of the Arts at Lincoln and beyond.
The successful candidate will be an established academic with an international research profile, who brings experience of university, school or departmental leadership roles. They will have a broad-based understanding of the disciplines covered by the school and specialise in one or more of them. They will be appointed to a permanent role in the School, and serve as Head of School for 5 years, with the possibility of extension subject to mutual agreement.
