• 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?

As a Teaching Fellow, you’ll join the School of Health Science and Clinical Practice, inspiring and supporting the next generation of health professionals. Depending on your clinical discipline expertise, you may teach across our Diploma and Bachelor's Health Science programs, with a focus on foundation subjects in Naturopathy, Western Herbal Medicine or Chinese Medicine. 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.

• 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.

This is a full-time, permanent opportunity based at either our Melbourne or Adelaide campus.
