Applicants must have unrestricted work rights in Australia; employer-sponsored work rights are not available.

Funding and employment: this is a paid academic staff appointment at Academic Level A, with a salary range of AUD 85,372.89 to 113,659.72 plus 17% superannuation and leave loading. The appointment is full-time or part-time and fixed-term until 31 December 2027. No visa sponsorship is available.
