Vacancies on QMUL Council
Over the summer, new members will be recruited to fill the external and internal member vacancies on Council. In 2017/18, we will have three vacancies for external members and three vacancies for academic staff, one from each of the faculties. We are currently looking to fill the external vacancies through advertising and would encourage staff to think about whether you know anyone who would make a good addition to Council. Details of requirements can be found on Connect. We will be seeking nominations for the academic staff member vacancies later in the summer – more information to follow.
