The Role
Reporting to the Associate Dean, Business Services, this teaching-research scholar role is part of a small academic team responsible for the design, delivery and administration of work-integrated learning (WIL) academic units in the ECU School of Business and Law.

Research will be linked to business disciplines (ideally Marketing, Hospitality and Tourism, Sport, Event Management or Entrepreneurship and Innovation). Academic service will require participation in relevant meetings, committees, and communities of practice, alongside activities that develop and further industry and community partnerships for WIL.

As part of the ECU community, the applicant must demonstrate personal attributes that correspond with the University’s Values of Integrity, Respect, Courage, Rational Inquiry and Personal Excellence.
