Elevate teaching quality and student experience
Help UNSW provide a world-class student experience through being part of the UNSW Nexus Program.
Nexus Program opportunities
At UNSW, providing a world-class student experience is one of our highest priorities. We want our students to be taught by academics who are not only experts in their discipline, but passionate, skilled educators. The Nexus Program is an ambitious and innovative program that will elevate education and student experience by contributing to these aims, and we are now recruiting talented, education-focussed academics to join the program as Nexus Fellows.
New educational initiatives are constantly being developed in UNSW’s central divisions for implementation in our Faculties and Schools, whilst many innovations introduced by individual academics have the potential for institution-wide application. As a Nexus Fellow, you'll provide a critical missing link, or Nexus, to amplify local education initiatives and support your colleagues to translate university-wide programs at local level. You'll be an innovator, a peer coach and a local expert.
If you'd like to be part of a community of peers who are dedicated to educational excellence, and part of a program and University where your passion for education will be valued and rewarded, go to Jobs@UNSW to view the opportunities now available, as well as sign up for job alerts for further opportunities that will be made available throughout May.

Education Focussed opportunities
The Education Focussed (EF) program at UNSW has been a huge success. Through a suite of support activities – including professional development events, career development funding, an active network of Communities of Practice and annual EF retreats – we have created a community of over 400 passionate educators across all of UNSW’s Faculties.
We now wish to build on the program’s success and have developed a range of new initiatives toward improving the student experience. We are recruiting talented EF academics to support our faculties to deliver on this exciting and important work.
Opportunities are now available and more will become available throughout May and June. To view current opportunities, and to register for a job alert, go to Jobs@UNSW.

Sydney was recently ranked the 6th best city in the world to live and work in by Global Finance magazine. With world-famous beaches and a thriving arts, music, and food scene full of cultural communities to immerse yourself in, our coastal city is not just a destination, but a life experience.
Coastal living
It’s easy to see why the sunshine and coastline of Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs beaches attract so many visitors, and UNSW’s Kensington campus sits right next door. It’s less than 30 minutes from campus to Bondi by car or bus, or just 10 minutes to Coogee.
If the beach isn’t your thing, we’re 5 minutes from beautiful Centennial Park or a short stroll to Randwick’s buzzing shops, cafés and restaurants.
Expand your network
Sydney’s the financial capital of Australia, and our international city is home to many global firms and offers countless opportunities to gain experience, meet people and build your networks.
A city for students
Sydney was ranked as the 8th best student city in the world in the QS Best Student Cities Index 2022. Our large and inclusive student community benefits from Sydney’s unique blend of outdoor and metropolitan lifestyles. Sydney offers a diverse range of opportunities for employment after graduation.
Something for everyone
There’s always something to do in Sydney, whether you’re flying solo or you’re looking for something the whole family can enjoy. You can find the best swimming, snorkelling and surfing spots or watch a film at the local Randwick cinema – one of the cheapest in Sydney. Ride a bike around Centennial Park, stop for a picnic, or enjoy an Aussie BBQ with new friends.
Sydney is also home to a number of incredible annual events, including Vivid Sydney, a festival of light, music and ideas, the New Year’s Eve Fireworks (possibly the most famous fireworks display in the world), and Taste of Sydney - an annual festival celebrating food and culture.

Taking this combined approach is what makes our work matter. It’s why we come to campus each day.
We make it as easy as possible for our staff to have a rich and balanced life at work and home. As part of our approach to flexible working, we have introduced greater flexibility across location, hours, full-time equivalents, schedules, and job sharing.
