The successful candidate will develop, engage in and lead high quality research projects aligned with the School's research focus areas, attract research funding, and produce high quality outputs. We have recently formalised three new School Research Groups, and we hope that you may form a fourth, based on your own research expertise and that of scholars in the School. For that reason, you will have expertise and experience as an inclusive research leader, and have strong external relationships to bring to the School. You will also teach and make a significant contribution to teaching and learning in the discipline with the aim of improving learning outcomes for students.

About You

To be successful in this position, you'll have:

• Evidence of demonstrated strategic leadership in a large organisational unit or University-wide initiative and effective membership of a management team that developed and achieved shared goals and objectives.
• Distinction at the national level and an internationally recognised research track record.
• Proven ability to sustain and grow Research Groups and Centres through the attraction of external funding.
• Ability to manage award program/s and lead program reviews.
• Ability to lead improvement of academic standards, including implementing best practice teaching strategies and dissemination of innovative practices.

About the School of Management

The School of Management is part of the College of Business and Law. The School is pluralist in nature; we are a diverse community of scholars who recognise and embrace multiple perspectives on organisations, management, and work. We are proud of our strengths in translating the knowledge we produce for real world application. We aim to improve public policy, organizational practice, and working life. We do this by advancing leadership, management, employment, innovation and entrepreneurial practices that are inclusive, responsible, and enable people and organisations to thrive.

Our approach is participative and applied. We undertake our change work from within - within classrooms, within industry and policy spheres, and from inside our research settings. We build bridges across these domains. Civil society relies on bringing together people to generate learning. We embrace the heritage of RMIT University, applying the knowledge co-produced with our research partners in pursuit of just and inclusive ways of organising and managing. Our work is underpinned by an abiding appreciation of human resilience, creativity, and endeavour.
