The Department of Econometrics & Business Statistics is Seeking Expressions of Interest for Secure Forms of Employment
The Department of Econometrics and Business Statistics is seeking expressions of interest for opportunities to be engaged as a Continuing (Defined Periods) Academic at Level A or Level B.
Continuing (Defined Periods) Academic Employment is used when the University identifies work needed for specific teaching periods within a calendar year. This employment type encompasses defined working (paid) and non-working (unpaid) periods aligned with teaching commitments. Continuing (Defined Periods) Employment is ongoing and part-time and will be offered for a minimum of 0.6 FTE during a defined working period. The fraction can be adjusted through a change of fraction form for a teaching period up to a maximum of 1 FTE throughout the duration of the defined working period and up to a maximum of 40 weeks within a calendar year. Continuing (Defined Periods) Academic Employment is an alternative to sessional employment and provides a more secure mode of employment, certainty of work and the opportunity for professional development and career progression.

What should I include in my application?
Your application should include:

How will applications be assessed?
The University is committed to an open, merit-based approach to this recruitment activity. Faculty-specific Selection Committees will be convened to assess applications and determine appointment suitability.
Are there impacts to my casual/sessional appointments?
When expressing interest in this opportunity, please be aware that any current sessional or casual activities allocated to you will cease from the day you commence an appointment as a Continuing (Defined Periods) Academic with the University.
