The University of Western Sydney seeks to appoint forward thinking academic leaders in the fields of Public Health and Sport and Exercise Science. Ideally, the University wishes to appoint a Level E Professor to both roles, however an appointment at Level D will be considered for high-calibre Associate Professor candidates.

Each role is responsible for fostering interdisciplinary collaboration among academic staff; contributing to the strategic direction of the School of Biomedical and Health Sciences; building strong research teams and networks within UWS and the wider national and international research community; conducting and leading significant research; and co-ordination and teaching of relevant academic units.

As head of the Masters programs, the Professor/Associate Professor of Public Health will have the ability to raise the research profile of the School while leading and managing postgraduate students. The Professor/Associate Professor of Sport and Exercise Science may also take on a Head of Program role subject to other responsibilities and contributions.

The successful candidate for each role will demonstrate: significant standing in the relevant field; excellence in research and teaching; a distinguished publication record; substantial professional networks in one or more sub-disciplines; and outstanding interpersonal skills. A PhD or equivalent in the relevant field is essential.

Both roles are based at the Campbelltown campus.
