The University of Sydney is Australia’s first university and has an outstanding global reputation for academic and research excellence. We employ over 7600 permanent staff, supporting over 60,000 students.

Together with the many health disciplines at the University of Sydney, the programs offered by the Faculty of Nursing and Midwifery (Sydney Nursing School) have an increasing focus on education and research strategies designed to keep people safe and well in the community, and to improve the integration of care. Recently ranked by the QS University World rankings as the number one nursing school in Australia (and 13th in the world), our staff are committed to excellence in education and research and contribute professional consultancy and advice across many key areas of nursing and midwifery education, policy, and practice both within Australia and internationally.

  • build research capacity and culture through project, grant and publication development activities
  • expand opportunities for multidisciplinary and multi-site research that has potential for major impact on health and health services translation to practice within the SLHD.

As a conjoint position, teaching commitments (inclusive of higher degree research supervision) will be allocated according to SNS work pattern policy for equivalent fraction and level of appointment. The position will have a presence at all SLHD facilities but will be primarily located at the Concord Hospital and Royal Prince Alfred Hospital campuses in Sydney.
