Lecturer in Forestry Sciences

The School of Natural Sciences is looking for a Lecturer in Forestry Sciences to join their team. The Lecturer in Forestry Sciences will coordinate the Graduate Certificate in Forestry course (which is a four-unit program) and will be the unit coordinator of the associated units of Introduction to Forestry and Forest Operations. The Graduate Certificate in Forestry has been developed to equip current industry professionals with the essential capabilities required to meet contemporary challenges. It fosters a new generation of forestry practitioners and leaders by offering a pathway for upskilling the workforce and preparing graduates for diverse roles in forest management. The course is delivered through a collaboration between leading Australian universities in forestry research and education: the University of Tasmania, the Australian National University, University of Adelaide (formally from University of South Australia), the University of Melbourne, and the University of the Sunshine Coast. As course and unit coordinator, you will work with colleagues in other universities to set academic vision, lead a dispersed teaching team, oversee quality assurance, and drive continuous improvement through data-informed pedagogy. You will also manage curriculum mapping, assessment moderation, and student retention initiatives, liaising with digital-learning specialists and external partners. You will participate in co-teaching and relevant internal and external committees. Success will lift course and unit coherence, student satisfaction, and graduate impact, advancing the University's mission to generate place-based sustainability knowledge for Tasmania and amplify it globally.
