We welcome candidates with expertise in any field related to the various

other disciplines.

As a discipline, HPS at Sydney has received the highest grade - 5 - in
the recent Australian Research Council's Excellence in Research in

Science, and draws undergraduate and postgraduate students from both
science and the humanities. It enjoys excellent relations with
departments in the Arts faculty, in particular philosophy, history and
Chinese studies, as well as with medicine, leading to collaborations in
research and teaching.

The position is full-time continuing (tenure track) and is subject to
the completion of a satisfactory probation period for new appointees.
Membership of a University approved superannuation scheme is a condition
of employment for new appointees.

Remuneration package: up to $109K p.a. including a base salary up to

increase also applies on a six monthly basis in addition to annual

superannuation. Visa sponsorship and some relocation cost support will
be available for the successful appointee if required.
