It has a strong commitment to addressing issues of education and equity in the context of rapid social, economic and cultural change. The School's education programs and research agendas have focused on driving state and national educational innovation and reform.

About This Opportunity

A Senior Lecturer/Associate Professor will be expected to teach in the Guidance, Counselling and Careers field of study in the postgraduate program and in the School's Initial Teacher Education programs (undergraduate and Masters' levels) in areas relevant to their expertise.

The successful appointee will have the capacity to pursue a strong and productive program of research relevant to the School's existing and emerging research priorities and to supervise research students.

The School has existing research strengths in the following fields: education policy; social justice and inclusive education; youth studies; pedagogies and learning sciences; and educational technologies. The successful appointee will further strengthen the School's theoretical and methodological expertise, interdisciplinary research agendas, and global focus on educational issues.

This position is located at our picturesque St Lucia campus , renowned as one of Australia's most attractive university campuses, and located just 7km from Brisbane's city centre. Bounded by the Brisbane River on three sides, and with outstanding public transport connections, our 114-hectare site provides a perfect work environment - you can enjoy the best of both worlds: a vibrant campus with the tradition of an established university.
