The University of Queensland - Dean, Medical School

An exceptional opportunity to lead one of Australia's most respected and internationally recognised medical schools, at the forefront of medical education and research.

The Organisation

Ranked in the world's top 50, The University of Queensland (UQ) is one of Australia's leading research and teaching institutions. Through more than a century of service, UQ's central mission has been remarkably consistent and demonstrates a commitment to delivering for the public good through excellence in education, research and engagement.

The Faculty of Health, Medicine and Behavioural Sciences at The University of Queensland is an interdisciplinary hub driving innovation in health and well-being. Bringing together nine schools and leading research institutes, the Faculty addresses complex health challenges through education, research, and partnerships.

Within the Medical School, our extensive network of programs and partnerships span across Queensland and North America. We provide high-quality education to more than 2000 medical students and other health professionals through world-class programs in medicine, mental health and skin cancer and support an active and diverse research community who are working to address the global challenges in medicine, health and patient care.

The Role

The Dean of the Medical School will provide visionary leadership, driving excellence in teaching, research, and clinical engagement. Reporting to the Executive Dean, this senior role oversees strategic planning, resource management, and stakeholder engagement, while fostering a collegial and high-performing culture. The Dean will lead a diverse team, maintain strong relationships with hospitals, health departments, and professional bodies, and champion innovation and continuous improvement across all aspects of the School's operations.

The Opportunity

We are seeking a distinguished medical leader motivated to inspire and shape the future academic activities of the Medical School. With specialist qualifications, complemented by a PhD or MD by research, the ideal candidate will have a globally recognised track record in research and clinical excellence.

This is a unique opportunity to lead a diverse, high-performing team, drive innovation in teaching and research, and build strategic partnerships across academia, industry, government, and professional bodies. Experience in driving teaching and research excellence, and managing finance, operations, and human resources is essential.
