Position overview

ANU has an international reputation for research and education relevant to the health and well-being of the population of Australia, as well as that of the developing world. This is achieved through discovery research, applied research in health service settings, research-led teaching in health and medical sciences, and the translation of research findings into practice and policy. The ANU College of Health and Medicine comprises the School of Medicine and Psychology, the John Curtin School of Medical Research and the National Centre of Epidemiology and Population Health. These schools work together to deliver world-class research and education across the spectrum of medicine and health-related fields, working in partnership with the health sector at local, national and international levels.

Casual Sessional Academics (CSAs) appointed as Problem-based learning (PBL) facilitators are expected to contribute positively to the delivery of high-quality teaching in the school by supporting course conveners, lecturers and students in a nominated course or courses. The principal focus of the role is facilitating discussion and managing but not directing group dynamics.

The CSA will work closely with any other PBL practical session facilitators appointed to support the undergraduate and postgraduate course/s for which the appointment is made, under the supervision of the course convener/s.
