The University of Liverpool has appointed Tim Jones as its next vice-chancellor.
Professor Jones, currently provost and vice-principal of the University of Birmingham, will take up the post in January 2023, following the retirement of Dame Janet Beer in December.
The appointment will see Professor Jones return to the institution where he took his undergraduate and doctoral degrees, prior to a research career focused on advanced electronic materials that was spent largely at Imperial College London and the University of Warwick.
