If you’re an academic working in information systems, business analytics, or operations management, the University of New South Wales (UNSW) has an opportunity to build your career in Australia. UNSW Business School is recruiting for two tenure-track positions: Lecturer (Level B) and Senior Lecturer (Level C).

The roles combine university teaching, academic research, and professional engagement. You’ll contribute to research in your field, teach undergraduate and postgraduate students, and work alongside researchers in an internationally connected academic environment.

The advertised starting salaries are AUD $133,065 for a Lecturer and AUD $161,619 for a Senior Lecturer, with an additional 17% superannuation and applicable leave loading. UNSW will also consider visa sponsorship and relocation support for successful candidates who need them.

About the Role

The School of Information Systems & Technology Management (SISTM) is part of UNSW Business School in Sydney. Its academic community includes more than 30 staff from different countries, with research, teaching, and professional engagement forming central parts of its work.

UNSW is recruiting at two academic levels across three related areas: Information Systems, Business Analytics, and Operations Management. Your appointment level will depend on your qualifications and experience.

As a Lecturer (Level B), you’ll conduct scholarly research, contribute to teaching, and participate in academic and professional activities. You’ll also support the school’s wider goals through engagement, collaboration, and contributions to its academic community.

As a Senior Lecturer (Level C), you’ll take on these responsibilities while demonstrating internationally recognised research and making significant contributions to educational leadership. The university expects senior-level candidates to help strengthen teaching quality and academic excellence within the school and faculty.

Both positions report to the Head of School and have no direct reports. These are tenure-track appointments, making them relevant to academics seeking a long-term university career rather than a short-term teaching contract.

Primary Responsibilities

• Conduct original research in Information Systems, Business Analytics, or Operations Management.
• Publish research in respected academic journals and conferences.
• Teach undergraduate and postgraduate courses.
• Design, develop, and deliver effective learning experiences.
• Contribute to curriculum development and improvements in teaching quality.
• Engage with students and support their academic development.
• Participate in professional and academic activities within Australia and internationally.
• Keep up with developments in your discipline and incorporate relevant advances into your work.
• Contribute to the school’s research culture and academic community.
• Build connections with industry and other professional stakeholders.
• Use educational technologies and online delivery methods where appropriate.
• Support an inclusive learning and working environment.

Qualifications

UNSW is looking for academics with strong research credentials and a clear commitment to university teaching. The advertised requirements include:

• A PhD in Information Systems, Business Analytics, Operations Management, or a closely related business discipline by the end of 2026.
• A strong record of research publications in leading Information Systems or Operations Management journals and conferences.
• Evidence of research quality and academic contribution appropriate to the level of appointment.
• Experience designing, developing, and delivering university-level teaching.
• Ability to teach at undergraduate and/or postgraduate level.
• A commitment to keeping your subject knowledge current.
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills.
• A commitment to equity, diversity, and inclusion.

The university identifies leading research outlets such as the UTD24, Financial Times 50, and AIS Basket of 8 among examples of relevant publication venues. Your application should make your research contributions easy to assess, including the quality of your publications and your role in producing them.

Additional Skills That Can Help

Some teaching and professional experiences are particularly desirable for this recruitment round. They include:

• Technical teaching: Experience teaching artificial intelligence, databases, or networking.
• Business analytics: Experience teaching analytics-related subjects.
• User experience design: Knowledge of UX design and its application to information systems.
• Educational technology: Experience using digital tools to support teaching and learning.
• Online education: Familiarity with online course delivery and digital learning environments.
• Industry engagement: Experience working with businesses, professional organisations, or industry partners.
• Academic leadership: Evidence of contributing to teaching quality, research collaboration, or curriculum development.

These areas can strengthen your application, particularly if your research and teaching experience connects directly with the school’s priorities. Technical teaching, business analytics, and UX design are specifically identified as desirable rather than universal mandatory requirements.

Salary and Benefits

The university advertises different starting salaries for the two academic levels. The figures below are annual base salaries in Australian dollars.

The advertised package includes:

• 17% superannuation contributions.
• Applicable leave loading payments.
• Access to an academic salary supplementation scheme.
• Career development opportunities.
• Flexible working arrangements, including work-from-home options and flexible hours where applicable.
• Three additional days of leave over the Christmas period.
• Discounts and entitlements covering areas such as retail, education, and fitness.

The university’s benefits and flexible working arrangements are subject to the applicable employment conditions. Confirm the complete remuneration package and any role-specific arrangements during recruitment.

Visa Sponsorship and Relocation

UNSW states that visa sponsorship and relocation support will be considered for successful candidates who require them. This is relevant if you’re currently living outside Australia and would need immigration assistance to take up the position.

However, sponsorship isn’t automatic. The university will consider the circumstances of the successful candidate, and any visa application must meet the relevant Australian immigration requirements.

If you’re applying from Nigeria or another country outside Australia, explain your current location and work authorisation status during recruitment. Ask the university whether sponsorship is available for your appointment level and what relocation assistance may be provided.

Don’t make travel arrangements or resign from an existing position until you’ve received a formal offer and clarified the visa process, employment conditions, and expected start date.
