Your opportunity
Southern Cross University's Faculty of Education is a vibrant and collaborative community committed to transforming education through innovative research, student-centred teaching and meaningful engagement. With a global reputation for excellence in early childhood, sustainability, creativity and transdisciplinary education, the Faculty offers programs across early childhood, primary, secondary, higher education and research degrees.
As a Lecturer in Mathematics Education, you will play a key role in shaping the learning experiences of future mathematics teachers. You will join a supportive academic team dedicated to developing high-quality curriculum and enhancing student success within our Initial Teacher Education programs. This role provides the opportunity to contribute to a strong and growing research culture while advancing your own academic profile.
You will make an impact by:
* Delivering high-quality, student-centred teaching by designing and delivering engaging curriculum that incorporates innovative learning technologies, flexible delivery modes and best-practice educational approaches in line with University policies.
* Contributing to the Faculty's research priorities through publications, collaborations and supervision of Honours and HDR students.
* Building partnerships with schools, community organisations and professional bodies to strengthen student learning and graduate employability.
What you will bring
You are an educator and researcher driven to inspire the next generation of mathematics teachers. You value collaboration, student-centred learning and the role of research in transforming educational practice. To succeed in this role, you will also need:
* A PhD or Professional Doctorate in Mathematics Education or a closely related discipline, and an initial teacher education qualification.
* Demonstrated excellence in tertiary teaching, including contemporary, research-informed approaches in Mathematics Education.
* A developing or established research profile, including peer-reviewed publications and experience supervising research students.
* Evidence of engagement in professional, community or discipline-based networks supporting Mathematics Education.
* While not essential, applicants with a cross-disciplinary teaching background or experience working across related learning areas or expertise in professional experience and school-based placements will be considered favourably. If this isn't part of your career history but you feel you would excel in the role, we still encourage you to apply.
