Auckland University of Technology (AUT) is bold and unapologetically different, centred on students and grounded in Knowledge that Works driven by talented, progressive people. We are New Zealand’s newest university, ranked 5-stars by QS Universities 2025 and a place of opportunity where more than 26,000 students with talent and potential succeed, supported by a community of more than 4,000 staff based primarily across three Auckland campuses. Built on collaboration, shared purpose and the values of Pono (fact, truth, reality, integrity), Tika (acting accordingly, doing what is needed, ethical expression), and Aroha (empathy, care, compassion). AUT offers an innovative, forward-thinking environment where committed people work together to improve outcomes for students, communities, and the world. AUT recognises the importance of Te Tiriti, Māori and Pacific knowledge, leadership, and contribution across our university and is committed to creating environments where these communities can thrive. We embrace diversity in all its forms and are proud to welcome people of all ethnicities, genders, sexual orientations, religious and political beliefs, socio-economic situations and accessibility needs. Faculty of Health and Environmental Sciences The Faculty of Health and Environmental Sciences is AUT’s largest and most diverse faculty, bringing together health, sport, and science disciplines with a strong commitment to excellent teaching, impactful research, equity, and community outcomes. Our six schools include Science, Community and Public Health, Acute and Primary Health, Allied Health, Nursing, and Sport, Exercise and Health. This is an exciting time to join the Faculty as we continue to strengthen our academic structures, governance, quality systems, and ways of working. We are seeking an outstanding academic leader who can help shape a coherent, confident, and future-focused approach to academic quality and standards across a complex and multidisciplinary academic environment. The Opportunity | Te Whiwhinga mahi We are seeking a highly credible senior academic to take up the role of Faculty Lead – Academic Quality. This is a three-year academic secondment opportunity reporting to the Associate Dean Academic, with a substantive underlying academic appointment in a relevant discipline within the Faculty of Health and Environmental Sciences. This is a rare opportunity to provide faculty-wide academic leadership in an area that sits at the heart of excellent education: the quality, validity, fairness, and consistency of academic decision-making. The role will lead through expertise, influence, and scholarly credibility, working with academic colleagues to strengthen shared understanding of academic standards, assessment design, and quality assurance. The successful candidate will work closely with the Associate Dean Academic, the Head of Academic Office, School leadership teams, Programme Leaders, faculty committees, AUT’s Academic Quality Office, and external academic and professional networks. The role provides academic leadership on standards, assessment philosophy, and quality assurance as matters of academic practice, while working in partnership with professional staff colleagues responsible for quality systems, regulatory compliance, and academic process administration. This distinction is central to the role: it requires someone who can bring strong academic judgement to complex questions while also working constructively within university systems and governance processes. Key areas of focus include: Providing faculty-wide academic leadership on academic standards, assessment quality, and consistency of academic decision-making. Supporting clear and shared understandings of academic standards and achievement thresholds across programmes. Advising on assessment validity, fairness, constructive alignment, moderation, and standards-based assessment. Contributing expert academic input into quality assurance mechanisms, including programme approvals, periodic reviews, accreditation activity, and external reference points. Identifying academic risks related to standards, assessment quality, equity impacts, and quality assurance. Providing clear, scholarly advice to faculty governance and leadership forums. Supporting academic decision-making that is evidence-informed, equitable, and aligned with Te Kete and Te Aronui. This role does not carry line management responsibility. Its impact will come through academic credibility, peer leadership, sound judgement, and the ability to build trust across disciplines, programmes, schools, and professional teams. It is ideally suited to an academic who is respected by peers, committed to high-quality student outcomes, and able to work with complexity, ambiguity, and contested academic questions in a principled and constructive way.
