Athena SWAN Chair vacancy

The Athena SWAN Charter is a scheme to promote and recognise good employment practice for higher education institutions and research institutes recruiting and promoting women to senior positions in science, technology, engineering, medicine and mathematics departments.

The Steering committee oversees the strategic direction of the charter in cooperation with the funders, promotes membership among university and research institutes, and provides expert input to the annual awards process.
