This appointment is open to suitably qualified candidates from all backgrounds. The Colleges will especially welcome applications from women and ethnic minorities, who are under-represented among academic staff generally, and from those whose caring or family responsibilities mean that they do not work full-time or mean that they are now returning to work following a career break.
