Kevin Marsh is to leave his post as editor of the Today Programme after four years in the job.
The journalist succeeded Rod Liddle at the helm of Radio 4's flagship news programme in 2002 and was boss at the time of the Hutton affair.
He will now become editor-in-chief of the BBC's college of journalism.
"After 17 years as a front line programme editor I am really looking forward now to using that experience to help maintain BBC journalism as a gold standard of international journalism," said Marsh, who has previously edited shows such as The World At One and won several awards.
Head of BBC radio news Stephen Mitchell praised Marsh as: "one of the most thoughtful and innovative Today editors."
