Dr Judith Bunbury at Wolfson

Judith is a geo-archaeologist who has taught at Cambridge since 2000, and is a member of the Department of Earth Sciences. She is also an alumna of the University, having studied for her PhD in Geology and Earth Science at Murray Edwards. She was previously Senior Tutor at St Edmund's College. Judith said, "I love the community at Wolfson, and I'm delighted that I'll be able to continue here as Senior Tutor."

Judith brings with her a wealth of intercollegiate experience, and she has been serving as interim Senior Tutor since September following Dr Susan Larsen's return to full-time teaching and research. She is also the current Chair of the Senior Tutors' Committee.

In her new role, Judith will lead and oversee the College's academic policies, ensuring the continued development of its vibrant intellectual environment. Wolfson's President, Professor Dame Ijeoma Uchegbu, said, "I am delighted to announce the appointment of Dr Judith Bunbury as the new permanent Senior Tutor of Wolfson College. She is a highly respected academic with a wealth of experience in higher education and will take on this pivotal role at the heart of the College community."

Judith has been in the news recently for her work as Deputy Mission Director of a long-term archaeological project in Egypt which has recently unearthed the lost tomb of Pharaoh Thutmose II. You can read more about this incredible discovery in our article.

We're excited to continue working with Judith as she carries on her work here at Wolfson!
