Introduction from Professor Rachel Mills, Senior Vice President (Academic)

"King's College London is committed to making the world a better place. Student success is at the heart of our new Strategy 2030, a commitment that is underpinned by academic excellence and the innovation of our community. The Faculty of Social Science & Public Policy plays a central role in this ambition. The Faculty of Social Science & Public Policy (SSPP) combines a long tradition of academic excellence with a clear commitment to understanding and shaping the global, social, technological and economic transformations defining our times. Home to one of the largest, most diverse and international communities for social research and education in Europe, SSPP brings together world-leading expertise across the social sciences, with recognised strengths in security studies, political economy, global health, social risk and resilience, and education and social justice. Our research and education engages with the most pressing challenges facing our world — from geopolitical tensions, defence strategy and climate change to inequality, poverty, public policy and the rapidly evolving nature of work and society. Located in the heart of London, one of the world's greatest and most influential cities, the Faculty is uniquely positioned to engage with government, business, civil society and international organisations. This creates exceptional opportunities for collaboration, convening and influence across academia, public life, industry and policy — across the UK and internationally. As global challenges grow in complexity and urgency, this role offers an opportunity to shape the strategic direction of a globally recognised Faculty, deepen interdisciplinary collaboration across King's broad academic community, and strengthen the Faculty's already extensive partnerships with those who share our commitment to positive change. Our global perspective draws on specialist expertise about dynamic and important regions of the world, including the European Union, China, India, Brazil, Russia and the Middle East, ensuring our work speaks to challenges that transcend borders. The Faculty is home to an ambitious and collaborative community of staff and students, united by engaged curiosity, a commitment to combining perspectives and methods from across disciplines, and a shared belief that social science can and should make a difference in the world. With nine faculties spanning the humanities, social sciences, health, sciences and professional disciplines, King's offers exceptional opportunities for interdisciplinary innovation and impact. We invite applications from individuals with distinguished and relevant academic experience, who will lead at an Executive level and inspire our community in SSPP. You will foster an open, inclusive and collaborative culture, and build on the Faculty's considerable strengths to advance its global reputation, research excellence and educational impact in the years ahead."
