The School of Business and Law is accredited by AACSB International and develops industry-ready graduates through high-quality teaching and learning experiences and engaged applied research.

In 2022, the School’s Business and Economics discipline was ranked in the Top 250 on the THE World University Rankings, an improvement of over 200 places and two bands in just three years. The School’s Tourism and Hospitality program is ranked #30 in the ShanghaiRankings.

The School houses the ECU Strategic Research Centre for Work + Wellbeing (CW+W) which has been instrumental in raising the profile of the School for research and practice in psychosocial risk at work; appropriate workplace and leadership behaviours; new ways of working; and influencing policy and practice in diversity and inclusion.

As part of an exciting expansion plan, the School of Business and Law will move into the $853 million world-class facilities of the landmark ECU City Campus at Yagan Square in the Perth CBD in 2025. This state-of-the-art Business, Law, Creative Industries and Technology Campus will be where innovative thinkers, adaptive learners and global citizens meet to become the leaders of tomorrow. ECU’s CBD campus will bring together streams of teaching and research with unique synergies for growth and development. This is unequivocally the most exciting time of all to join the University as it embarks on this transformational journey.

The Role
Reporting to the Associate Dean, Teaching and Learning, this role is part of a small academic team responsible for the design, delivery and administration of work-integrated learning (WIL) academic units in the ECU School of Business and Law.

The role will involve teaching, assessing, moderating and coordinating WIL units across multiple teaching periods through the year. The successful candidate will contribute to curriculum and assessment development in WIL and is expected to engage in scholarship to inform WIL offerings that are innovative, high quality and meet relevant academic standards and policy. Research will be linked to a Commerce discipline such as Management, Human Resources Management, Marketing, Hospitality and Tourism, and Entrepreneurship and Innovation.

Academic service will require participation in relevant meetings, committees, and communities of practice, alongside activities that develop and further industry and community partnerships for WIL.
