The Fellows of Girton College seek to appoint a new Head of House to succeed Professor Dame Marilyn Strathern who retires from the Mistress-ship in late September 2009 after eleven years.
The successful candidate will bring a record of distinguished achievement in her or his chosen field - academic or other - and will show a strong identification with the College's progressive ethos and commitment to academic excellence. Vision, energy, and first-class communication skills are essential and should be combined with financial acumen and a willingness to engage in fundraising. Within the College, the Head of House will be visible and supportive, fostering a culture which promotes high academic achievement within an environment which is friendly and encouraging; externally, he or she will be an influential advocate for the College, acting as its principal representative and building effective relationships with a number of stakeholders.
To apply for this position, or to receive further particulars of the appointment, please contact Christine Sloan, Heidrick & Struggles (UK) Ltd, 3 Burlington Gardens, London, W1S 3EP (email csloan@heidrick.com, tel. +44 (0)20 7075 4083), stating where the advertisement was seen.
The closing date for the receipt of applications is 12 September 2008.
