Why work with us?

At Deakin you will have access to benefits such as a variety of leave options including generous parental leave and the ability to purchase additional leave; flexible working arrangements to help manage your work-life balance; ongoing learning and development opportunities to grow your career; an inclusive and supportive culture and environment to work in, both online and on campus.

We understand that the discipline of architecture has an ethical responsibility to people, place, and environment, and across all these, to Australia's First Peoples, their Cultures, and their Countries. We strive to learn from the continued acts of care and stewardship that Australia’s Traditional Custodians have undertaken for thousands of generations, and to embed this in our contribution to the sustainable development of the built environment, wherever in the world we and our graduates might practise our discipline. As educators we embed this ethos in all our work, to develop future practitioners and researchers, providing the foundation for them to become the ethical, innovative, and brave leaders our built environment needs.

Architecture is a holistic discipline, that is most successful when undertaken as a synthesis of its many parts, and accordingly, we understand architectural sustainability to underpin all aspects of our discipline, from social sustainability, to ecology, to building science.

The successful candidate will help strengthen the integration of sustainability in the School's architecture courses', bringing existing knowledge and understanding to this endeavour, while also contributing to the development of new knowledge able to address the future challenges our discipline faces.
