Professor in Health Inequalities at Buckinghamshire New University

Buckinghamshire New University is an ambitious, modern university that is always open to fresh ideas and thinking. We believe in the transformative power of education, and in doing the right thing by our students, people and local community. That’s why our BNU community is a special place to work and study, and where people who want to make a difference can contribute and succeed.

We’re ranked 1st for student satisfaction in Greater London and the South East (2023 National Student Survey), 10th for teaching quality (Sunday Times 2024 University Guide), and we continue to hold a top 80th position in the Guardian University Guide 2024.

We care about supporting our students to succeed and we’re proud to win a prestigious award for our response to the cost-of-living crisis in the 2023 Whatuni Student Choice Awards. Now, as part of our new inclusive research and knowledge exchange strategy, we’re looking to recruit exceptional researchers for their first professorial post. We want candidates who understand participatory and liberatory research, who have social impact at the heart of their practice and who centre lived experience in everything they do.

We are recruiting for five professors across different disciplines  –  Inclusive AI, Decolonising Arts Practices, Business and Society, Social Policy and EDI and Health Inequalities. We want professors who can build an inclusive research culture that attracts and develops researchers from underrepresented groups in academia, building a community committed to improving lives. We think differently at BNU and we want professors who do the same.

To apply, please send your CV and a supporting statement to sharon.egan@bucks.ac.uk
