Join A World-Class Economics Team At UQ

The School of Economics at The University of Queensland (UQ) invites applications for two academic positions at Lecturer (Level B) or Senior Lecturer (Level C) level, in any field of economics.

As a teaching and research academic, you’ll join a vibrant, internationally recognised academic community. Whether you’re early in your academic career or ready to take the next step, this is an opportunity to build your global research profile and contribute to innovative teaching in one of Australia’s leading economics schools.

Note for US applicants: In the Australian academic system, a Lecturer is broadly equivalent to an Assistant Professor in the US, while a Senior Lecturer is a more senior appointment.

Why UQ?

As part of the UQ community, you will have the opportunity to work alongside the brightest minds, who have joined us from all over the world, and within an environment where interdisciplinary collaborations are encouraged. As part of our commitment to excellence in research and professional practice in academic contexts, we are proud to provide our staff with access to world-class facilities and equipment, grant writing support, greater research funding opportunities, and other forms of staff support and development.


The greater benefits of joining the UQ community are broad: from being part of a Group of Eight university, to recognition of prior service with other Australian universities, up to 26 weeks of paid parental leave, 17.5% annual leave loading, flexible working arrangements, access to exclusive internal-only vacancies, and genuine career progression opportunities via the academic promotions process.


Relocating from interstate or overseas? We may support you with obtaining employer-sponsored work rights and a relocation support package, however upfront costs will still be expected to be covered. You can find out more about life in Australia’s Sunshine State here.
