The University of Sussex is a remarkable institution. The distinctive ethos on which it was established more than 60 years ago is still very much at the heart of the University. Sussex is a leading research-intensive university, highly ranked in the UK and world league tables, and recognised internationally for its research, teaching and outreach. The first of the new wave of UK universities founded in the 1960s, receiving its Royal Charter in 1961, the University now has over 18,125 students and more than 2,000 staff members. The Life Sciences department boasts a diverse array of high impact research departments and leading teaching activities. Technical Services is instrumental in supporting and enabling such activity, with Life Sciences boasting the largest cohort of core, specialist, teaching and research technicians at the University of Sussex. The type of facilities across the school includes central stores, Mass Spectrometry, NMR, Cryo-EM and light microscopy, to name a few., you will have oversight of all technical aspects within the school. If successful, you will lead this amazing team of dedicated and skilled technicians, supported by senior technical managers within your team. You will play a vital role in the school’s research and teaching operations and strategy. Furthermore, as my deputy, you will help build upon the transformative work with the recent technician review and Technician Commitment, making real positive change for technicians at the University. You will also join a team of senior technical managers working across campus, helping to foster a professional, effective and flexible technical service.
This is an opportunity to progress your career to the next level, in an institution and school at the forefront of active research, with a team that is committed to making sure the work of technicians is highlighted at all levels. I hope you will join me in helping shape an exemplar of technical services in HE, in the unique University of Sussex.
