Academic development

The aims of the Academic Capacity and Careers portfolio are to develop an academic career framework that enables the University’s academic staff to meet the current and future demands of the Growing Esteem Strategy 2015 - 2020 and ensure we are the preferred destination for high-calibre academics in Australia.

We seek to nurture excellence in teaching and learning, research, engagement and academic leadership. We provide support for a broad range of academic roles and pathways and seek to attract, retain and develop a diversity of academic talent.
