Three candidates have emerged to rival Jo Grady in her bid for a second term as general secretary of the University and College Union. 

Grady announced her intention to stand for a second term earlier this month. She was first elected to the position in May 2019.

She will compete against three other nominees, all from universities: Saira Weiner, a Liverpool John Moores University lecturer and member of UCU Left, Vicky Blake, a past president of the UCU, and law professor Ewan McGaughey.

Each will have received at least 50 nominations to stand for the role, which has a five-year term. It is advertised with an annual salary of between £111,723 and £125,745, plus £5,058 of London weighting.
