The Medical Sciences Division is an internationally recognised centre of excellence for biomedical and clinical research and teaching and is the largest of the four academic divisions within the University.

In addition to proven financial management experience, the post-holder will need to demonstrate a clear commitment to customer service, have a flexible, 'can-do' attitude and be able to understand quickly and respond appropriately to the local needs and context of academic departments.
We welcome applications from all sections of the community. We aspire to build a truly diverse community which values and respects every individual's unique contribution.
