Queen’s University Belfast are delighted to announce the David Trimble Chair in Leadership and Organisational Transformation and are seeking to appoint an exceptional candidate, based in Queen’s Business School (QBS). QBS at Queen’s University Belfast offers world-class undergraduate, postgraduate, and executive education. Queen’s University Belfast is a member of the Russell Group, and QBS is accredited by EQUIS, AMBA, Small Business Charter, and has served as a PRME Champion institution since 2020.
Lord Trimble made a substantial contribution to the Belfast/Good Friday Agreement in 1998, something which he noted was the single most significant achievement of his life. Variously defined as a ‘leader of courage and vision’, demonstrating ‘bravery and determination in leadership’, his transformational role in the Northern Ireland peace process was formally recognised when he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1998. Given his long-standing and strong affiliation to Queen’s University Belfast, not only as an alumnus, former academic and Honorary Professor, the University is delighted to bring forward this new position to honour the life and work of David Trimble.
