About the role

We are seeking to appoint an experienced Deputy Head of Academic Administration to deliver a varied, complex and stimulating workstream, on a permanent, full-time basis.

You will be an excellent communicator and strong leader to support our postgraduate team, and be committed to delivering an exceptional student experience through first-rate administration of the Mathematical Institute's postgraduate programmes.

The Mathematical Institute has a large cohort of around 500 postgraduate students, split across two research degree programmes and five MSc programmes, each one unique with places in high demand.
