About UNSW & Nexus Program:

UNSW isn't like other places you've worked. Yes, we're a large organisation with a diverse and talented community; a community doing extraordinary things. Together, we are driven to be thoughtful, practical, and purposeful in all we do. Taking this combined approach is what makes our work matter.

It's the reason we're one of the top 50 universities in the world and a member of Australia's prestigious Group of Eight.

If you want a career where you can thrive, be challenged, and do meaningful work, you're in the right place.


The Nexus Program will provide a critical missing link between organisational units at UNSW, connecting faculties to each other and to the PVCESE to develop and implement coordinated solutions to challenges in education and student experience.

Through the recruitment of education-related staff distributed throughout UNSW's Sydney and Canberra-based schools, Nexus Program will provide the Schools and Faculties with extra capacity to enable widespread implementation of educational initiatives.

Additionally, it will provide a mechanism for teaching academics to contribute to and provide feedback on centrally developed education programs.


School of Risk & Actuarial Studies


The School of Risk & Actuarial Studies has an established international reputation for excellence in its undergraduate and postgraduate programs in Actuarial Studies, its courses in risk management, data analytics, and in superannuation and pensions, as well as its supervision of Honours and PhD students.

The School's reputation is built on outstanding staff, students and alumni, a strong international research profile and well developed local and international linkages with academics, industry, and government.

The school hosts one of the largest actuarial programs globally (>1300 students enrolled) and is globally #1 ranked business school research in risk & insurance and actuarial science research.
