Job Details

Work type: Continuing
Location: Parkville

Only Indigenous Australians are eligible to apply as this position is exempt under the Special Measure Provision, Section 12 (1) of the Equal Opportunity Act 2011 (Vic).

Founded in 1853, the University of Melbourne is Australia’s #1 university and is consistently ranked amongst the leading universities in the world. We are proud of our people, our commitment to research and teaching excellence, and our global engagement.

About the Faculty of Arts

The Faculty of Arts is committed to equity, diversity and inclusion and strongly encourages people with diverse experiences to apply. This includes First Nations people, culturally and linguistically diverse people, Deaf and hard of hearing people, people with a disability, LGBTIQ+, and neurodiverse people. If you have any accessibility requirements for the application or interview, please contact us. We are dedicated to ensuring barrier-free and inclusive practices to recruit the most talented candidates. A position description is available in alternate formats if required, including USB, Large Print and Plain English.

The Faculty actively seeks to welcome and value the unique contributions of people from all backgrounds and is committed to diversity and inclusion practices to achieve our vision.

About the Role

The Faculty of Arts is committed to being transformed by Indigenous knowledges and perspectives across its teaching, research, and local and international partnerships activity. To enable this transformation, the Faculty of Arts has reformed its governance to include the role of Associate Dean Indigenous who leads the implementation of the Faculty’s Divisional Indigenous Development Plan. This plan commits the Faculty to furthering the impact of its Indigenous Studies program and research activities including that of the Research Unit on Indigenous Languages and the renewed Australian Centre that takes up the agenda of the former Indigenous-Settler Relations Collaboration.

In order to build a sustainable career pathway for First Nations people within the Faculty of Arts—from undergraduate student to Professor – the implementation of this plan encompasses work across curriculum reform, student success, strategic research investments, and providing greater academic opportunities to First Nations scholars at all levels, across all fields of study.

This call for Expressions of Interest seeks talented First Nations scholars to join the Faculty of Arts, at any level and in any of the Faculty’s disciplinary fields.
