Ensuring that our School is inclusive as possible is a fundamental part of what we do in SEED. We aim to redress staffing imbalances and inequalities. We promote equality and actively challenge unfair discrimination. We welcome applications from people of all backgrounds – people of all ages, sexual orientations, genders, ethnicities, nationalities, religions, and beliefs. However, we particularly encourage applications from staff who identify as women, colleagues with disabilities, and individuals from minority ethnic groups, because these groups are currently underrepresented at more senior levels in Higher Education.
