A FORMER Whitehall policy advisor will join the University of Bradford as Dean of the Faculty of Management and Law from December.
Professor Zahir Irani (pictured) has held several senior management positions at Brunel University London, the most recent of which being the Dean of College, and as a Senior Policy Advisor at the Cabinet Office during part of the coalition Government. He was also Head of the Brunel Business School, where in 2013 it was awarded the Times Higher Education Business School of the Year under his leadership.
He said: “I am very excited about leading a triple accredited School of Management and in supporting a developing School of Law. The faculty has an excellent heritage and I look forward to working with colleagues in preparation for the challenges we will face around the REF, TEF and internationalisation.”
Professor Irani will be attending University events, meeting with colleagues and getting to know University of Bradford prior to his commencement at the beginning of December.
