Economic and Social Research Council gets long-term boss after two years without permanent leader
The Economic and Social Research Council has announced that Stian Westlake—a former adviser to three science ministers and head of the Royal Statistical Society—is to be its new executive chair, following two years without a permanent leader.
ESRC’s former executive chair, Jennifer Rubin, stepped down in January 2021, and the funder has been led by interim executive chair Alison Park ever since.
