About the role:
As the Associate Professor in Workforce Studies and Professional Readiness, you will contribute to longitudinal workforce studies and investigations in the Institute for Learning Sciences and Teacher Education (ILSTE). Working within a high performing research team of senior, internationally recognised scholars within ILSTE's areas of assessment, policy and teacher education, you will contribute to the development of scholarship, research and professional activities in the Institute, including through engaging with policy personnel and schools.
To be successful in the role, you will have a strong track record in combinations of the fields of initial teacher education, assessment and policy and longitudinal studies, will be an outstanding scholar of significant international standing and will publish high-quality research in leading international publishing outlets that strengthen ACU's research reputation and positions the University as a sector leader in the discipline of assessment.
The position provides exciting opportunities to contribute to large-scale mixed method longitudinal research examining the nature and function of i) performance assessment, ii) data linkage, and iii) the use of technology including Artificial Intelligence and visualisations (eg Tableau) in teaching and assessment.
In exploring the abstract notion of teacher/teaching effectiveness, the research engages with the numerous international and national reviews and reform agenda that call for improving the preparedness of teacher education graduates and the already strong interest of governments in evidence of schooling effectiveness.
Research projects underway in ILSTE focus on continuity and change in teacher education policy, practice and professional standards and the concept of accountability.
