The Urban Studies Foundation (USF) is recruiting new Trustees to serve on its Board, with start dates throughout 2026. Trustees may be based anywhere worldwide, but must be able to demonstrate significant, long-term, and ongoing involvement in urban studies research and education. They must also be able to fulfil the active commitments and legal duties required of charity Trustees in the United Kingdom.
Through their active engagement in the USF's grant schemes and associated activities, Trustees play a crucial and responsible role in the strategies, polices, and financial decisions of the USF. The role requires collegiality and commitment to collectively guide and oversee the USF in the delivery of its charitable aims and objectives. Serving as a Trustee provides an opportunity to shape the future of global urban studies scholarship.
Further Particulars regarding the role, profile and personal qualifications of a Trustee Board Member can be found on the USF website, along with further information about the selection process. Applicants should ensure that they understand the role and legal responsibilities of a Trustee as defined by the Scottish Charity Regulator (OSCR) before applying (though USF Trustees may reside in any country worldwide, and the majority of the existing Board is based outside of Europe).
