The Deputy Director Academic is a unique, high-profile opportunity. It will provide academic leadership to a team of Project Leads responsible for five complex research projects. A key focus will be overseeing this applied research and ensuring that the projects are designed, delivered and quality assured in accordance with best practice, cultural relevance and safety, and ethical standards.
