Professorial Appointments Board

We are now establishing a Professorial Appointments Board to support the recruitment of the College’s first Professors of Teaching. The Board will play a central role in shaping the future of the teaching profession by ensuring that appointments are rigorous, transparent and rooted in professional values. The Board will:

  • define the selection criteria for the Professors of Teaching
  • oversee the process of recruiting the Professors of Teaching
  • make recommendations for appointments to the role of Professors of Teaching.

Terms of office will begin in September 2026.
