Through interdisciplinary collaboration and external partnerships, the Institute will address the need for effective climate action, including successful Net Zero strategies, and the associated need to achieve equity and inclusion in a just transition to a sustainable world.</p>\n\n\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 20px; font-family: san-serif;\">We now seek to appoint an inspiring academic leader to join us as the founding Director of the Institute. They will develop a motivated and connected team, including core co-located colleagues and research students, as well as a committed group of Institute Members from across the University, whose work has been widely recognised in science, law and policy related to energy and water, in community-based sustainability initiatives, sustainable materials and engineering, and crop resilience bioscience. By bringing these teams together, the work of the Institute will respect the complexity of the problems we face by drawing on insights generated from across the creative arts, humanities and social sciences as well as engineering and life sciences.</p>\n\n\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 20px; font-family: san-serif;\">Candidates will bring a track record of inspirational leadership in a field of sustainability, gained within a complex, multi-scaled and interdisciplinary environment.

Their own expertise will complement the research strengths of the University of Dundee and enhance the University's research reputation. They will demonstrate the ability to lead complex, interdisciplinary research and innovation programmes, while establishing an inclusive research culture that values and practises open research, equality and opportunity. With a collaborative style and excellent communication skills, the successful candidate will help to secure substantial funding for the Institute, while promoting its activities externally, with funders, project partners, stakeholders, business and the public.</p>\n\n\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 20px; font-family: san-serif;\">We know that across our university, women, people of colour and people with disabilities are underrepresented in our senior positions and we want this to change.
