• Fixed term, part-time appointment (3 years, 0.5 FTE)

The School of Health and Society is a dynamic, inter-disciplinary community of health and social science scholars of national and international standing with a goal to change society for the better. We work inclusively with communities, policy-makers, practitioners, industries, key stakeholders and publics to explore how practices, policies and structures contribute to cycles of poor health, social disadvantage and injustice. To contribute to this vision, the School is investing in a number of new Indigenous academic appointments.
