Nursing Teaching Fellow | School of Health Science and Clinical Practice | 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 Health Science and Clinical Practice, inspiring and supporting the next generation of nursing professionals. You’ll teach across our Bachelor of Nursing subjects.

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

These are full-time, permanent positions, with one role available in Adelaide and one in Brisbane.

What you’ll bring

• Demonstrated current clinical experience in the nursing, with the ability to apply industry knowledge to teaching and student learning
• Strong facilitation skills across online and face-to-face learning environments in Higher Education
• Experience using learning technologies and digital tools to enhance teaching
• Confidence using, or enthusiasm for adopting, AI-enabled approaches in education
• Experience designing engaging learning and assessment activities
• A student-centred approach to teaching and learning
• Strong communication and collaboration skills
