About the opportunity 

The University of Sydney is Australia’s premier University with an outstanding global reputation for academic and research excellence, and employs over 7600 permanent staff supporting over 60,000 students. The Faculty of Health Sciences is a world leader in health sciences research and education. Courage and creativity guides our decision making, teaching and research. The strategic direction of the faculty is to be known nationally and internationally for the impact of our transformational education and research, and importantly, our research is strategically aligned with our global partners. The faculty seeks mutually beneficial engagement with local health districts, primary health care networks, academia, industry and communities. We work effectively in diverse cultural settings. Our students represent culturally and socially diverse backgrounds; hence we are building a health workforce that reflects Australia’s diversity. As well as graduating outstanding clinicians, we graduate leaders in health and health research who have an international perspective.

The faculty’s Discipline of Medical Radiation Sciences (MRS) is renowned for its world-leading research in medical image optimisation and perception, breast cancer imaging, motion correction and advanced molecular imaging technologies. The discipline attracts high-calibre students, researchers and academics, being awarded over $10m in research funding over the last 5 years. While our researchers within the discipline work closely the highest ranked international institutions, they also have been independently acknowledged as being the world’s leading MRS scientists and work closely with the highest ranked international institutions.

As part of this growth we are seeking to appoint a highly motivated Associate Professor (Level D) or Professor (Level E) who holds a vision for the future of MRS in a changing health climate as well as an understanding of changes in the health sector and its impact around the discipline.
