CONTRIBUTE TO OUR SUCCESS
The University Court, which is the University’s governing body, is looking to appoint a number of new independent (Lay) members to start from October 2025.
In appointing to vacancies we are looking to rebalance and, in some areas, enhance the Court in terms of membership skills and experience; and in terms of member diversity, to better reflect the communities the university serves.
We recognise the value that diversity of perspectives and lived experiences brings to Court, and therefore would welcome and encourage applications from people who identify as Black, Asian or from a Minority Ethnic background, and to preserve gender balance on the Court in accordance with the Gender Representation on Public Boards (Scotland) Act 2018, we would welcome and encourage applications from women.
We are particularly interested to hear from individuals who can bring expertise and/or experience in the following areas: Health and Health Policy (specifically within higher education); Higher Education (at a senior or policy level); Law; Food and Drink (with entrepreneurial / policy and innovation experience) and Human Resources.
