Chair and Director of the Institute of Asia-Pacific Studies

Applications are invited for the post of Chair and Director of the Institute of Asia-Pacific Studies based at Nottingham, in the School of Politics and International Relations, one of the most dynamic and cosmopolitan in Europe. The Chair carries with it the Directorship of the Institute for Asia-Pacific Studies (IAPS), and is intended in the first instance to boost international activity and offer creative leadership in that broad field, across several different schools and institutes on the University of Nottingham’s three campuses, in the UK, China, and Malaysia. IAPS embraces the Asia-Pacific as a whole; we are open-minded about the specialism of the Director. IAPS benefits from a generous bequest made by Sir Stanley and Lady Tomlinson; under the terms of this bequest, funds are available to support its further development. The holder of the Chair will also be expected to play a leading role in the strategic direction of the School of Politics and International Relations as a whole, and in particular to develop tri-campus initiatives across the full range of the School’s remit.
