Queens’ College is seeking to elect a President to succeed Mohamed El-Erian who will retire at the end of September 2025. The next President will lead the College with vision to realise its ambitions for its community and its estate, while continuing to promote academic excellence and the flourishing of all its members.
Queens’ is a historic College with a forward-looking ethos. It is a vibrant educational community of some 1,300 people, comprising undergraduates, postgraduates, Fellows and staff drawn from every corner of the world. Set on the banks of the River Cam in central Cambridge, and featuring some of the city’s most attractive buildings, Queens’ aspires to be a place where people of diverse backgrounds and interests live, study, work, and learn from one another.
The President is the principal ambassador for Queens’ College and its leader as a community, and must therefore be invested in its ethos and aims. The President must also have knowledge of academia and a strong understanding of, and sympathy with, the Cambridge collegiate system.
Since the President chairs the Governing Body of the College and provides strategic leadership to the Fellowship, strong candidates will be expected to have a distinguished record of achievement, leadership and decision-making in academia or another field. Candidates should have the personal qualities to lead, inspire and encourage the whole community: staff, students and Fellows alike.
Applications should be received by midday on Friday 20 th
December 2024.
