University Pro-Vice-Chancellorship


Explanation:
UK English - the other suggestions here are not applicable to the UK.

The chief exec of a uni is the vice-chancellor. His/her deputy is the pro-vice-chancellor, and the nominalizing suffix is -ship.

The link below explains the situation in UK universities

Not only the physical office, but also the authority of that office, such as "the academic vice president's office is in charge of tenure".
