About the opportunity 

The Department of Art History at the University of Sydney invites applications for a full-time, continuing position in the art and visual culture of Asia.  The precise area and period of specialisation are open, but candidates whose work complements existing departmental strengths and who demonstrate engagement with global, transcultural, and transregional currents in the discipline are especially welcome. The department is particularly interested in candidates whose work demonstrates awareness of current critical and theoretical as well as pedagogical approaches within the discipline. We would encourage candidates who might engage with the collections and museums in our region, including the Chau Chak Wing Museum at the University of Sydney, through interests in object-oriented teaching and/or experience in Curatorial, Museum and Heritage Studies. We also encourage those able to create connections with multidisciplinary University centres such as the Sydney Southeast Asia Centre and the China Studies Centre.

This academic position reports to the Chair of Department and requires an energetic and committed individual to take on academic teaching at undergraduate and postgraduate levels and research responsibilities.  By the very nature of the academic program, some evening work may be required.

This role is your opportunity to:

  • coordinate and deliver undergraduate and postgraduate units of study with a focus on Asian art
  • make a contribution to the research strengths of the School, including the pursuit of research grants and regular publication in journals of high standing
  • supervise Honours and Postgraduate research
  • be a source/centre for interdisciplinary collaborations with the University and with external stakeholders.
  • Contribute to the research culture of the Department and the University
