The University is seeking applications from ambitious academic colleagues who are interested in an exciting opportunity to advance our international ambitions.

Vice-Principal, External Relations, Rachel Sandison said: “The University is looking to appoint a Dean for Global Engagement for Europe. This is an excellent opportunity to champion Glasgow’s excellence and take forward our significant international objectives in the strategically important region that is Europe. The Europe portfolio is a vibrant and diverse one that presents both challenges and opportunities in the context of the post-Brexit landscape.”
