Accordingly, the Lecturer/Senior Lecturer will have expertise and conduct research that aligns with the goals of this program and are applied in nature. The allocation of time to each area will be discussed with the position supervisor and reflect the appointee’s research expertise, school and interdisciplinary teaching requirements, and leadership opportunities within the School.
