• Contribute to educational excellence and scholarship by engaging in pedagogical research, supporting the professional development of colleagues, advancing teaching capability, and integrating contemporary scholarship into teaching practice.
• Engage with the University and broader community through citizenship activities, building industry/clinical partnerships, supporting students including those on placement and contributing to Deakin’s strategic objectives and community impact.

To be successful, you’ll have:

• A PhD or equivalent professional standing in a relevant field, with a strong record of scholarly learning and teaching in psychology research methods.
• Demonstrated excellence in teaching, with the ability to apply effective, student‑centred teaching practices that enhance learning, success, and engagement.
• Strong interpersonal and communication skills, with the proven ability to work collaboratively in teams and contribute to a collegial, positive work environment.
