Job Description:
- Influence how learning is designed, delivered and experienced across the Faculty of Business, Economics and Law
- Help shape innovative, inclusive and future-focused educational experiences for students across the faculty
- 12-month fixed term, full-time role based at AUT’s City Campus
Auckland University of Technology (AUT) is New Zealand's newest university and one of its most distinctive. Centred on students and grounded in knowledge that works, AUT is 5-star rated by QS, with more than 27,000 students and 4,000 staff based primarily across three Auckland campuses. It's a place of real opportunity, where the values of Pono, Tika and Aroha shape how talented, progressive people work together – and you'll feel that in the culture, in the collaboration and in the difference the work makes for students, communities and the world.
Our community is stronger because of the role Te Tiriti plays in how we operate, and because Māori and Pacific knowledge, leadership and contribution are central to who we are. We embrace diversity in all its forms and are proud to welcome people of all ethnicities, genders, sexual orientations, religious and political beliefs, socio-economic situations and accessibility needs.
AUT’s Faculty of Business, Economics and Law is a dynamic, future focused academic environment that combines rigorous scholarship with strong industry engagement and real world impact. The Faculty brings together innovative educators and researchers who are shaping business practice, economic thinking and legal frameworks in Aotearoa New Zealand and beyond. With a strong commitment to sustainability, equity and technological change, the Faculty offers academic staff the opportunity to collaborate across disciplines, work closely with industry and policy partners, and contribute to research and teaching that is relevant, contemporary and globally connected - within a supportive, ambitious and values driven university community.
