Located in the heart of Central London on our Strand campus, the Department of Informatics within the Faculty of Natural, Mathematical & Engineering Sciences is a vibrant hub for interdisciplinary research and education of the highest quality.

The department is in an exciting position, having grown by 30% over the last four years to 81 academic staff, with a student population of 1,500 undergraduates, 300 postgraduates and 150 PhD students.

Research in the department covers a broad range of sub-disciplines of Computer Science considering fundamental scientific questions, as well as the practical challenges and opportunities we face in an increasingly complex digital society.

Our intersecting lattice-like structure of groups and hubs in Informatics provides a robust framework which supports the Department's commitment to research of the highest scientific quality, and the drive to increase the external impact of our research.

Housed in the iconic Bush House, this is a brilliant opportunity to lead a Department with a reputation for excellence, and is well positioned to be a major contributor to university wide agendas.

Working closely with the Executive Dean and Faculty Leadership Team, the postholder will be expected to build wide and meaningful interdisciplinary research collaborations across the Faculty and King's, ensure excellence and innovation in education, provide supportive direction for academic and professional services staff, and contribute to the overall strategic aims of the Faculty.
