The successful candidates will demonstrate both accomplishment and continued promise in their relevant areas of expertise, with a record of recognised scholarly or professional work. They will have a proven capability to make a significant contribution to teaching, research and engagement in specific built environment domains.

They will teach at both graduate and undergraduate levels and will participate in the supervision of research higher degree students.

The successful candidates will have a proven capability to contribute significantly to teaching and research in construction management and technology as they apply to building in Australia and internationally. An ability to teach within both construction management and construction technology areas will be highly desirable.

Expertise to teach and/or research in more than one of the identified areas is required and this must be identified within a separate page of the application. These areas include – construction planning, tendering and procurement, site management, project management, building technology, high rise construction, project financing, structural engineering, building services, prefabrication, Construction 4.0, construction robotics, lean construction, human resource management and leadership, building information modelling (BIM), humanitarian construction, building regulations and fire engineering, built environment law, technical or digital innovation and entrepreneurship.

The applicant will be able to contextualise the adoption of conventional and innovative construction methods in relation to geographic and socio-technical factors, and promote environmentally, culturally and socially sustainable building practices.
