Appointment of new President and Vice-Chancellor
The University of Manchester has appointed Professor Duncan
Ivison as its next President and Vice-Chancellor. He will formally
take up the post from 1(st) August 2024.
He will succeed Professor Dame Nancy Rothwell who steps down
after 14 years in the role at the end of July 2024 when her
contract concludes. 2024 is also a significant year as it will mark
the bicentenary of the University, 200 years from its earliest
origins in 1824.
Professor Ivison was appointed after an extensive global search
process that began in March this year and has involved widespread
stakeholder engagement across the University including members of
staff, Senate, students, alumni, civic leaders, unions and business
partners, concluding as planned.
Currently coming to the end of a research sabbatical, Professor
Ivison will join from the University of Sydney, where most recently
he was Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Research). Previously he was Dean,
Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences and Head of the School of
Philosophical and Historical Inquiry. He is a Professor of
Political Philosophy.
Earlier in his career, he was an Associate Professor at the
University of Toronto, a Lecturer and Senior Lecturer at the
University of Sydney, a Lecturer at the University of York, and a
Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Australian National
University.
He completed a BA in Political Science at McGill University in
Montreal, where he grew up and an MSc in Political Theory and a PhD
at the London School of Economics.
