  • Opportunity to contribute to outstanding teaching and learning outcomes in political economy
  • Located on the Camperdown Campus
  • Full-time Level A or B, fixed term 2 years with a base salary of $76K – $128K p.a., plus leave loading and a generous employer’s contribution to superannuation

About the opportunity 

This position is an education focused role within the School of Social & Political Sciences Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences at the University of Sydney. Education-focused is a specialised category of academic engagement reserved for talented educators with a passion for, and demonstrated excellence in, pedagogical practice and design. An Associate Lecturer (Education-focused) contributes to the teaching and learning efforts within a School/ Faculty while working with the support and guidance of more senior academic staff to develop their education proficiency. A Lecturer (Education-focused) is expected to make a significant contribution to teaching and learning practice, design and evaluation within the School/Faculty and will be on a trajectory towards leadership in educational design and delivery. Both levels are expected to dedicate the majority of their contribution to teaching (up to 70% – or 80% by mutual agreement – of their academic workload allocation).

The Department of Political Economy focuses on the links between the economy, society and political interests. It deals with important challenges such as economic instability and uneven development, employment and inequitable income distribution, the globalisation of economic activity, and environmental sustainability.
