We are seeking a Head of Education & Student Experience (Grand Challenges) and SDGs to provide strategic leadership for UCL's challenge-led education and student engagement offer, while overseeing delivery of the University's SDGs activities.
This is a leadership role within an expanded Grand Challenges team, bringing together responsibility for education, student experience and Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) under a single, integrated portfolio. You will embed Grand Challenges learning across the curriculum and co-curriculum, lead innovative credit-bearing and extra-curricular pilots, and champion student-led social innovation and enterprise.
Working closely with academic leaders, professional services colleagues and partners including Students' Union UCL, you will influence and support faculties to develop interdisciplinary, challenge-focused learning opportunities. You will also equip early career researchers with the skills and confidence to work in challenge-led and interdisciplinary ways.
Alongside this, you will provide strategic oversight of UCL's SDGs activities, including engagement with national and international networks, stewardship of SDG-related partnerships and innovation programmes, and leadership on how UCL measures, communicates and evidences its contribution to the SDGs.
This is a highly collaborative role with significant scope to shape direction, approaches and impact, operating at the intersection of education, research, student experience and global engagement.
University College London (UCL) is London's Global University. Founded in 1826, we were the first university in England to welcome students of any religion and the first to admit women on equal terms with men. Today, we are among the world's top 10 universities, with a diverse community of over 50,000 students and 18,000 staff from more than 150 countries.
UCL's Grand Challenges is a flagship initiative within Research, Innovation & Global Engagement (RIGE). It brings together researchers, students and external partners to address some of the most pressing societal challenges of our time, using challenge-led, interdisciplinary approaches that cut across research, education and institutional practice.
Alongside this, UCL's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) activities provide a unifying framework for showcasing and strengthening UCL's contribution to the UN SDGs across education, research, operations and global engagement.
As UCL's Strategic Plan 2022-27 continues to be delivered, the Grand Challenges programme and our SDGs activities are evolving together, with a growing emphasis on education, student leadership and real-world impact. This is an exciting moment to join the team and play a central role in shaping how students and early career researchers engage with global challenges and sustainable development at UCL.
As London's Global University, we know diversity fosters creativity and innovation, and we want our community to represent the diversity of the world's talent. We are committed to equality of opportunity, to being fair and inclusive, and to being a place where we all belong.
We therefore particularly encourage applications from candidates who are likely to be underrepresented in UCL's workforce.
These include people from Black, Asian and ethnic minority backgrounds; disabled people; LGBTQI+ people; and for our Grade 9 and 10 roles, women.
