Seize the extraordinary opportunity to lead Australia’s new comprehensive public university — Adelaide University.

Forged from the combined strengths of The University of Adelaide and the University of South Australia, this new institution represents a bold vision for higher education. Opening its doors to students on 1 January 2026, Adelaide University will join the prestigious Group of Eight (Go8) and is determined to be recognised among the world’s top 100 universities on an ongoing basis. Our mission is to redefine excellence in education, tackle educational inequality, and deliver groundbreaking research with global impact.

As Vice Chancellor and President, you will bring this transformative vision to life and deliver the future. You will inspire a high-performance culture and advance a cohesive identity that reflects our commitment to innovation, academic excellence, student success and research excellence.

Reporting to the Adelaide University Council, you will steer the University toward becoming a trusted global leader—delivering research that shapes the future and forging partnerships with industry, government, and communities to address society’s most pressing challenges.

We are seeking an energetic and inclusive leader who shares our vision and has a proven ability to drive transformational change, integrate distinctive cultures, and foster innovation. Your leadership will be the catalyst for creating a university that empowers individuals, strengthens communities, and achieves lasting social impact that transcends borders.

If you share our ambition to build a truly exceptional university for the future, we invite you to express your interest in this rare and career-defining role.
