The University of Sydney’s Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences has a

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.  The University is recognized for research excellence in
Cultural Studies, having received the highest ranking for this field
of research in the last two ERA exercises.

Cultural Studies at the level of Senior Lecturer in the Department of
Gender and Cultural Studies. The Department has a vibrant
interdisciplinary research culture 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.

The department is seeking an applicant with a demonstrated
international research profile in Cultural Studies or a related
discipline who can demonstrate a high level of excellence in

administrative roles and curriculum development as required.

experience and excellence in teaching large units at an undergraduate
level is essential as is experience in supervising Honours, Masters
and Higher Research students. A demonstrated ability to attract
competitive research funding is required. Evidence of professional
service and leadership in the field of Cultural Studies, Gender
