University announces 10 new readerships
Posted on 6 April 2004
The people who will take up the readership appointments will join the University at a time of change.

The research community is expected to benefit particularly from the expansion with more space available for research teams, spin-out companies, and opportunities to explore new subject areas.

The readerships are available competitively across the following departments:
