Despite its recent staff cutbacks, Dundee University has shown that it remains intent on attracting new talent.
It announced the appointment of five professors two coming to the city from successful careers elsewhere and three raised from its own ranks.
They represent a wide variety of fields finance and accounting, biophysics, forensic anthropology, nursing and midwifery and psychology and university principal Professor Pete Downes said they would be “a further boost to our considerable strengths.”
One of the newcomers is biophysicist Timothy Newman. In addition to his professorship, he has become editor-in-chief of the journal Physical Biology.
He is joined by accounting and finance specialist Robin Roslender, who previously worked at Stirling and Heriot-Watt universities.
Martyn Jones joined Dundee University in 1990 and has helped to boost research activity in the school of nursing and midwifery.
Psychologist Fabio Sani has been with the university since 1996 and is well known internationally. Caroline Wilkinson, who has worked in Dundee since 2005, is a specialist in craniofacial identification.
