Teaching Fellow

Help shape the future of higher education. At Torrens University Australia, we're redefining what learning looks like. We're building a new cohort of Teaching Fellows - innovative, student-focused academics who are passionate about creating engaging learning experiences and helping shape the next generation of teaching and learning.

This is more than a teaching role. You'll join a team leading the evolution of higher education through student-centred learning, AI-enabled teaching, digital innovation, and contemporary learning design.

Why this role? This role has been created to strengthen Torrens University’s permanent academic workforce, supporting the delivery of flexible, high-quality, student-centred learning experiences across on-campus, online, hybrid and asynchronous learning environments, while enhancing student success and employability.

We're looking for educators who don't simply teach, they innovate. People who are excited by questions like:

• How can AI enhance learning?
• What does great online teaching look like?
• How can data and student feedback improve the learning experience?
• How do we prepare graduates for careers that don't yet exist?

About the role: As a Teaching Fellow, you'll join the School of Business, where you'll inspire and support the next generation of business professionals. You'll teach across our Diploma, Bachelor and Master's Business programs, delivering engaging and interactive learning experiences in areas focused on Management, Leadership, Strategy, Marketing, Accounting, Finance, Economics, or Entrepreneurship, Sport, Events and Project Management.

You’ll combine outstanding teaching practice with digital capability, learning design and innovation to create learning experiences that are flexible, engaging and centred around student success.

What you'll be doing:

• Put students first: You create inclusive, engaging learning experiences and genuinely care about helping every student succeed.
• Embrace innovation: You're curious about new technologies, confident experimenting with AI and digital tools, and willing to rethink traditional approaches to teaching.
• Use evidence to improve: You seek feedback, use learning analytics and continuously refine your teaching based on what works.
• Collaborate: You enjoy working with colleagues across disciplines to improve learning, share ideas, and solve challenges together.
• Thrive in change: You're adaptable, resilient, and excited by working in a dynamic, digitally evolving higher education environment.

Full-time permanent position located at either Flinders Street or Surry Hills Campuses.

What you’ll bring:

• PhD (completed or in progress) is highly preferred.
• Demonstrated expertise in one or more core business disciplines, such as Accounting, Finance, Marketing, Management, Strategy or Economics, together with strong digital and analytical capabilities, including the application of AI and technology-enabled decision-making.
• Current industry practice with the ability to integrate contemporary business, responsible and sustainable business principles (including ethics, ESG, and governance), and best-practice learning and teaching approaches into the student experience.
• Strong facilitation skills across online and face-to-face learning environments in Higher Education.
• Experience using learning technologies and digital tools to enhance teaching.
• Confidence using, or enthusiasm for adopting, AI-enabled approaches in education.
• Experience designing engaging learning and assessment activities.
• A student-centred approach to teaching and learning.
• Strong communication and collaboration skills.
• A growth mindset and commitment to continuous professional learning.
• Relevant postgraduate qualifications (or working towards completion).

Why join Torrens? Join an institution committed to transforming education through innovation, technology and exceptional student experiences. You'll help shape the future of higher education while working alongside innovative educators committed to student success.
