Experience in classroom teaching, current learning research, and postgraduate supervision is preferred, particularly for senior roles.

For candidates that demonstrate a quality track record of research, in addition to teaching, there may be opportunities to engage in independent and collaborative research in your field. To attain a research workload, an emerging track record of strong theoretically informed empirical research is needed alongside methodological expertise in quantitative, qualitative, or mixed research methods.
