Accordingly, the Lecturer/Senior Lecturer will have expertise and conduct research that aligns with the goals of this program and are applied in nature. The allocation of time to each area will be discussed with the position supervisor and reflect the appointee’s research expertise, school and interdisciplinary teaching requirements, and leadership opportunities within the School.

The Lecturer/Senior Lecturer must also be able and willing, if requested, to teach into a partner program with Southwest University, located in Chonqing, China. The Lecturer/Senior Lecturer may also be required to supervise or mentor less senior staff and undertake service/leadership roles as applicable.
