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 (Information Technology), you'll join the School of Technology, where you'll inspire and support the next generation of IT professionals. You'll teach across our Bachelor and Master of Information Technology programs, delivering engaging learning experiences in subjects such as Programming Languages, Intelligent Systems, Software Engineering and Development, Smart Industry Applications, Machine Learning, Computer Architecture and Operating Systems, Data Science, and Cloud Foundations and Architecture.
