Overview: Institutional Leadership & Administration

Introduction

The Institutional Leadership & Administration sub-category is where a comprehensive list of all institutional leadership and administration positions can be listed.  These may be at a Faculty, Department, University or other level.

There is no restriction on the total number of entries you may add.

Existing entries may be edited / updated subsequently, if required, or deleted.  

Entries may be manually sorted into a logical order which will be used when generating CV’s and displaying on websites.

Each subsequent entry on this page will be listed in a new row and will be displayed alternately in a blue / black font colour.  This formatting is only used within the Researcher Profile context and purely for ease of visual display of multiple entries.
