About This Opportunity  

Shape the future of student learning and belonging at one of Australia’s leading universities. As a Teaching Focused Senior Lecturer or Associate Professor, you will play a pivotal leadership role within the UQ North Learning Community, driving excellence in teaching, curriculum innovation, and student engagement.

Working within a collaborative, inclusive and high-performing academic environment, you will inspire both students and colleagues, champion evidence-based educational practices, and contribute to a culture that empowers the next generation of change makers.

This is an outstanding opportunity for an accomplished educator to extend their influence across the University through strategic leadership, meaningful partnerships, and a shared commitment to creating positive impact through teaching excellence.

A teaching-focused appointment requires excellence in teaching across undergraduate, honours and postgraduate programs, including course coordination, supported by a national profile in teaching impact and/or education or discipline capacity-building research. The role involves leading initiatives that enhance curriculum, pedagogy and assessment, supervising higher degree students to completion, and driving program and curriculum development. It also requires strong internal service and mentoring contributions, and active external engagement, with leadership and influence extending to national level and progressing towards an international level at Academic Level D.
