About the opportunity
The University of Sydney welcomes applications for Sydney Horizon Educators in the academic disciplines outlined below, during an exciting and innovative time. With the introduction of the new University of Sydney Enterprise Agreement 2023-26, the University has committed to establishing and advertising new continuing education-focused (EF) academic positions, across The Sydney School of Architecture, Design & Planning.
Successful candidates will join the Sydney Horizon Educators cohort. For further insights into this exciting opportunity, we invite you to watch this video.
The University aims to attract and retain the best and brightest emerging academics. The positions in this opportunity are for talented educators with a passion for, and demonstrated excellence in, educational practice and innovation, and research capability (in disciplinary and/or education-related research). This newly-recruited group of educators will support an uplift in the teaching capability and student experience at the University of Sydney, while also developing as leaders in the education space at the University.
You will have the opportunity to make a significant contribution to teaching and learning design, delivery, and evaluation in your specialised field while you also contribute to research in relation to your discipline and/or your educational practice. As part of this role, you will also contribute to the governance, leadership, and engagement work of your employing school, particularly as it relates to education.
Education-focused roles are a specialised category of academic engagement reserved for talented educators with a passion for, and demonstrated excellence in, pedagogical practice and design. The successful candidate will dedicate the majority (up to 70%) of their academic workload allocation to education and education-focused activities. We also highly value recognised expertise in higher education pedagogy, or the willingness to undertake additional development through, for example, completion of the Graduate Certificate in Education Studies (Higher Education) or comparable recognition (e.g. obtaining FHEA status).
Over time, staff appointed to these roles will be supported to engage with professional development opportunities to build their capability to lead change and improvement in teaching at the University.
The Sydney School of Architecture, Design and Planning is an internationally-acknowledged centre for intellectual, scientific and creative research, and attracts the highest quality scholars. We are committed to a sustainable future for Sydney and the world. Creatively combining the disciplines of architecture, urbanism and design, we explore how cities, spaces, buildings, technologies, and services can better meet the needs of people and society. As one of the world’s top-ranked schools, our educators and researchers are experimental, imaginative, and critical, innovating at the boundaries of their disciplines, and creating exciting and engaging learning experiences for our students – the global citizens of tomorrow.
The discipline of design is rapidly growing and highly successful within the school. Our research explores and contributes to better futures: we envision, define, and inform the interactions between people, technologies, organisations, and society. Pushing the boundaries of pedagogical practice in interaction and innovation, we encourage our students to critically rethink and prototype new objects, systems, experiences, and materials that shape human experience and life on the planet through the lens of design. To address these huge and critical problems, our design staff come from all kinds of backgrounds, including mathematics, psychology, musical composition, community activism, and robotics. Recognising that design cannot happen in isolation, we actively collaborate across disciplines and with external partners, including industry, not-for-profit, government and community groups and organisations.
Our discipline of architecture is experimental, critical and engaged. We extend the boundaries and critical edges of the profession through the interplay of conceptual engagements and the cultures of architecture and urbanism. We offer a broad range of undergraduate and postgraduate degrees across architecture, architectural design, architecture and environments, and architectural science (including audio and acoustics, high performance buildings, illumination, and sustainable design).
Your key responsibilities will be to:
