Diversity and inclusion

All members of staff and job applicants will receive equal treatment regardless of age, colour, disability, ethnic origin, gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, nationality, parental status, pregnancy and maternity, political belief, race, religion or belief (including lack of belief), sex, sexual orientation, socio-economic background, or trade union membership.

We particularly welcome and encourage applications from women, disabled people and ethnic minority groups, recognising they are under-represented across Imperial College. The principles of fair and open competition apply and appointments will be made on merit.

Further information on the College's approach to equal opportunities can be found on the Equality webpages and following the links on this page.

Asylum an Immigration Act
