Torrens University Australia – Sydney CBD NSW

Teaching Fellow | School of Business | Full-time | Torrens University Australia

Help shape the future of higher education.
At Torrens University Australia, we're redefining what learning looks like.
We're building a new cohort of Teaching Fellows - innovative, student-focused academics who are passionate about creating engaging learning experiences and helping shape the next generation of teaching and learning.
This is more than a teaching role. You'll join a team leading the evolution of higher education through student-centred learning, AI-enabled teaching, digital innovation, and contemporary learning design.

Why this role?

This role has been created to strengthen Torrens University’s permanent academic workforce, supporting the delivery of flexible, high-quality, student-centred learning experiences across on-campus, online, hybrid and asynchronous learning environments, while enhancing student success and employability.

We're looking for educators who don't simply teach, they innovate.

People who are excited by questions like:

• How can AI enhance learning?
• What does great online teaching look like?
• How can data and student feedback improve the learning experience?
• How do we prepare graduates for careers that don't yet exist?

About the role

As a Teaching Fellow, you’ll join the School of Business to deliver engaging learning experiences across our Diploma, Bachelor’s and Master’s programs.

This is a full-time, permanent opportunity, with four Teaching Fellow positions available—one in each of Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide. The subjects you teach will depend on your location:

Adelaide: Understanding Self and Others

Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne: Business Environment and Business Communications

In this role, you’ll deliver engaging and interactive learning experiences that develop students’ self-awareness, communication, collaboration and professional skills.

You’ll combine outstanding teaching practice with digital capability, learning design and innovation to create learning experiences that are flexible, engaging and centered around student success.

• Use evidence to improve: You seek feedback, use learning analytics and continuously refine your teaching based on what works.
• Collaborate: You enjoy working with colleagues across disciplines to improve learning, share ideas, and solve challenges together.
• Thrive in change: You're adaptable, resilient, and excited by working in a dynamic, digitally evolving higher education environment.

What you'll bring

PhD (completed or in progress) is highly preferred.

Demonstrated expertise in one or more core business disciplines, such as Accounting, Finance, Marketing, Management, Strategy or Economics, together with strong digital and analytical capabilities, including the application of AI and technology-enabled decision-making.

Current industry practice with the ability to integrate contemporary business, responsible and sustainable business principles (including ethics, ESG, and governance), and best-practice learning and teaching approaches into the student experience.

Strong facilitation skills across online and face-to-face learning environments in Higher Education

Experience using learning technologies and digital tools to enhance teaching
