LECTURER IN CULTURAL STUDIES

DEPARTMENT OF GENDER AND CULTURAL STUDIES

SCHOOL OF PHILOSOPHICAL AND HISTORICAL INQUIRY



• Join a highly successful and respected school

• Develop your teaching and research career in an interdisciplinary 
environment



The University of Sydney is Australia's first university and has an 
outstanding global reputation for academic and research excellence. It 
employs over 7,500 permanent staff supporting over 49,000 students.



The University of Sydney’s Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences has a 
proud history of intellectual rigour and offers a vibrant research and 
teaching environment. The School of Philosophical and Historical Inquiry 
(SOPHI) is one of five schools in the Faculty, made up of the 
departments of Archaeology, Classics and Ancient History, Gender and 
Cultural Studies, History and Philosophy. The school brings together an 
exciting group of academics and students who participate in a wide array 
of undergraduate and postgraduate programs. It is home to some of the 
leading researchers and teachers in Australia and the world, as well as 
regularly hosting prominent visitors and international colloquia.



Applications are invited for a lectureship in Cultural Studies in the 
Department of Gender and Cultural Studies. The department has a vibrant 
interdisciplinary research culture, including at postgraduate level, and 
a reputation for excellence at all levels of teaching. It offers a 
dynamic undergraduate curriculum with majors in both Gender Studies and 
Cultural Studies and a successful postgraduate coursework program in 
Cultural Studies. Applicants will be expected to have knowledge of the 
wide range of interdisciplinary approaches used in both Cultural and 
Gender Studies.



The appointee will be expected to develop and teach a new postgraduate 
unit in Cultural Policy and to coordinate and teach into the large first 
year Cultural Studies unit. The appointee will be expected to supervise 
honours, master’s coursework and postgraduate research dissertation 
students. In addition, they will be expected to pursue an active 
research program, participate fully in the department’s research culture 
and undertake appropriate administrative roles and curriculum 
development as required.



A willingness to engage with and teach a culturally diverse and a very 
mixed student cohort is vital, and a familiarity with cultural policy 
issues arising beyond the English-speaking world would be an advantage.



Applicants must have a doctorate in Cultural Studies or a related 
discipline, demonstrated teaching excellence and the ability to 
contribute to more than one area of the department’s teaching. A strong 
publication record and clear research potential is essential. Policy 
experience or research in the areas of cultural economy, cultural 
institutions or cultural geography will be an advantage. Applicants must 
also have excellent communication skills and a commitment to teamwork. 
Experience in the delivery of curriculum, in the supervision of 
dissertations, and in administration in a humanities and/or social 
science department is desirable.



Remuneration package (Lecturer, Level B): $104,644 to $124,263 p.a. 
(which includes a base salary $88,426 to $105,004 p.a., leave loading 
and up to 17% employer’s contribution to superannuation).



CLOSING DATE: 4 November 2012 (11:30pm Sydney time)
