About the Programme
This is a superb opportunity for academics interested in spending a sabbatical leave from their current institution at Imperial. The Programme has been established to broaden the College’s reach, by developing new relationships with exceptional individuals and their organisations.

About the Role
Visiting Professors will participate in the College by appointment in a host department on the basis of both their proposed research programme and their plans for engagement with the wider College community through, for example, lectures and seminars in academic courses, well-publicised general-audience or public lectures, conducting workshops, or meeting with students and staff across the campuses.
About the Candidate
We are looking for candidates with established links to the UK who have an international reputation and expertise in their field of research. They will have made distinctive and impactful contributions and established a sustained track record in research (e.g. publications, patents and grants) and who have made distinctive and impactful contributions to their field.
Essential Requirements
Applicants will need to demonstrate evidence of contribution to the development and performance of colleagues through coaching and mentoring. Additionally, the post-holder must have the experience and capability to act as a role model in areas of research, teaching and management as appropriate. We expect the post-holder to participate fully in College life, and support its objectives in equality, diversity, and inclusion. The PVP Professors will be visible to the community through lectures and seminars and will actively engage students and staff across the College. A full list of responsibilities and essential requirements can be seen in the Job Description.

Animals may only be used in research programmes where their use is shown to be necessary for developing new treatments and making medical advances. Imperial is committed to ensuring that, in cases where this research is deemed essential, all animals in the College’s care are treated with full respect, and that all staff involved with this work show due consideration at every level.
