Adverts are going out this week for a new Head of the School of Engineering and Informatics, to replace Professor Bernard Weiss, who is retiring this summer after three years at Sussex. The University is also seeking a new Head of the School of Education and Social Work; Professor Suzy Braye has been acting head since Professor Peter Aggleton moved to the University of New South Wales in December 2011.
