Applications are invited for Professorships (Personal Chairs) – the submission deadline is Friday 18 October. Awards are made by the Professoriate Committee based on a two stage process. Applications will initially be considered by internal members of the committee; shortlisted applications will then be considered by the full committee at a later date following receipt of references and assessments. Applications should be submitted – preferably by email – to Maura Sorensen, University Secretariat, at m.sorensen@shu.ac.uk. For guidance on the criteria and application process go to https://staff.shu.ac.uk/university_secretariat/profcommittee.asp.
