UNSW’s Education Focused roles (EF) enable academics to specialise in education and devote their time to delivering high-quality teaching and pursuing initiatives to enhance the educational experience of our students. Those who are appointed to this prestigious stream will be expected to successfully drive educational excellence within the university’s teaching and learning communities. It is expected that the appointee will progress on a continual satisfactory and upward trajectory in their performance and specific performance expectations will be set individually with the Head of School/Supervisor.
The School is seeking to appoint a Lecturer (Level B) or Senior Lecturer (Level C) with a strong background in educational technologies and pedagogy to convene and conduct high quality teaching primarily in our microbiology courses.
