of undergraduate and postgraduate programs. It is home to some of the

regularly hosting prominent visitors and international colloquia.  The 
University is recognized for research excellence in Cultural Studies,

research profile in Cultural Studies or a related discipline who can

expected to teach large undergraduate units of study in gender, 
communities, belonging and everyday life and to supervise Honours,

and undertake appropriate administrative roles and curriculum 
development as required.

research funding is required. Evidence of professional service and 
leadership in the field of Cultural Studies, Gender Studies, or related 
fields is highly desirable. Applicants must also have excellent
