Background

Investing in academic excellence

City University London is a global University committed to academic excellence with a focus on business and the professions and an enviable central London location.

City’s academic range is broadly-based with world leading strengths in business; law; engineering; mathematical sciences; informatics; the arts including journalism and music; social sciences; and health sciences.

City is ranked in the top 30 UK higher education institutions by the Times Higher Education Table of Tables 2011 and in the top 5% of world universities by the Times Higher Education World University Rankings 2010.

City attracts over 21,000 students (35% at postgraduate level) from around 160 countries and academic and professional staff from over 50 countries.

Led by the Vice-Chancellor, Professor Paul Curran, the University has embarked on a strategic transformation to strengthen its position as a leading global University.

As part of this transformation and following a similar programme earlier in 2011, City is seeking to recruit another 22 academic staff with outstanding records of research achievement.
