The University wishes to appoint an experienced administrator as Head of its International Office. The post is available immediately.
You will head an Office which acts as the central administrative support and ‘front office’ for the University’s international collaborations, and provides specialist advice to the University on international matters. Most particularly, it provides strategic advice and briefings to the Vice-Chancellor, the Pro-Vice-Chancellors, and other Senior Academic leaders on matters where the University seeks to assess University-level overseas collaborations and partnerships that will enhance the University’s educational and research activities. The Office also deals with University-wide strategic partnerships, implementation of agreed international strategies, co-ordination of overseas visits, engagement with national and international agencies, and works with Student Operations to support student exchange schemes and overseas student support.
You will be a graduate with substantial working experience in a complex organizational structure, preferably in a higher education institution or another organization which works in a global research-focused environment.

The Laing O’Rourke Centre for Construction Engineering and Technology has recently been established as a result of a unique partnership between the University of Cambridge and Laing O’Rourke, the UK’s largest private construction company. This multi-disciplinary academic centre of excellence aims to advance the engineering profession, leverage innovative thinking, and provide a new vision for the shape of tomorrow’s construction industry.
The partnership will support a Professorship, two Lectureships, and a Director for a new two-year, part-time Master’s degree in Construction Engineering, to be based in the Department of Engineering and taught in collaboration with Judge Business School.
Applications are now invited from suitably qualified candidates for the following two posts, with the Professorship and second Lectureship to be filled at a later date.
It is hoped that the successful candidate will take up appointment by 1 April 2011 or as soon as possible thereafter.
The successful candidate will have, or be expected to develop, a record of world-class research commensurate with the international reputation and top-rank research rating of the Department of Engineering and Judge Business School. Teaching responsibilities will include contributing to the development and delivery of the new Master’s course as well as other undergraduate courses, supervising final-year projects and postgraduate students. It would be advantageous, although not a prerequisite, for candidates to have professional experience in the construction industry.
The appointment will be for a probationary period of five years and, subject to satisfactory performance, with appointment to the retiring age thereafter. The current pensionable scale of stipends is in the range of £36,715 to £46,510 a year.

The post-holder’s salary will rise by annual increments within this range and the post-holder may apply for additional contribution increments in accordance with the University’s Contribution Increments Scheme.
