To ensure that the Society increases its reach and influence, we have decided to establish two new Special Adviser roles in two areas of particular interest – (i) International Affairs and (ii) Research & Innovation.

We would like to appoint a Fellow to each role who can provide specialist advice to Council, advocate for the Society’s priorities, and develop our relationships with other stakeholders.

The Special Advisers will report directly to the President. They will be appointed for 1 year initially, with the possibility of renewal for up to 4 further years.

Role descriptions

Application and appointment process

Please send an expression of interest and summary CV (maximum 2 pages in total) outlining your interest and suitability for the role, to Amanda Kirk (akirk@lsw.wales.ac.uk)

Closing date for applications: 2 December 2020

Please also contact Amanda if you would like to arrange an informal conversation with the President about the role.

The Executive Committee will review applications and will interview shortlisted candidates. The Committee will then recommend appointees to Council, who will make the final decision.
