Sheffield Hallam Jobs

Athena Swan

Sheffield Hallam University has gender equality embedded into its strategy. We joined the Athena SWAN charter in 2008 and were awarded a bronze institutional award in 2010, successfully renewing in 2013. Four of our academic departments currently hold Athena SWAN awards, including the Department of Biosciences which holds silver status.

Our mission to transform lives depends on Sheffield Hallam being an inclusive, diverse organisation with equality and diversity deeply embedded.

Investing in STEM

In October 2017 we formally opened our new STEM Centre named after pioneering female engineer Hertha Ayrton. Further exciting projects are in the pipeline, with development of the £14m Advanced Wellbeing Research Centre and National Centre of Excellence for Food Engineering both scheduled for completion over the next two years.

The University's Women Professors Group has a high profile at the University and initiated the development of an internal mentoring scheme (Aspire) designed to support women academics with professorship/senior leadership aspirations, which is now in its third year. You can find out more from two of our Professors Laura Serrant and Simona Francese on the 'join us' tab.

We have made progress in improving professorial gender imbalances and we now have above sector average female representation at professorial level.
