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.
