Job description
Macquarie University is one of Australia's most outstanding universities with significant recent accomplishments in accelerating its academic performance. In research, Macquarie has emerged to reliably be positioned in the top 10 Australian universities and its education programs are widely recognised for their innovation and distinctiveness.

As a comprehensive university Macquarie has great strengths in the sciences, social sciences and the professional disciplines, and values interdisciplinary research and teaching.

The Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Academic) is the chief academic officer of the University and responsible for the planning, quality and delivery of education to Macquarie's students. Reporting directly to the Vice-Chancellor, the DVCA provides strategic leadership for the portfolio areas of academic planning and quality; students; teaching and learning; academic staff; and widening participation. The DVCA works across the institution in enhancing academic quality, interfaces closely with the DVC (Research), and also oversees libraries.

The ideal candidate will have a distinguished record of scholarship, and a track record of leadership and change management. It is expected the DVCA will also have the capacity to make a substantial contribution to a close knit and effective senior management team in the overall direction setting of Macquarie. A knowledge of major contemporary and emerging issues in the higher education sector, particularly new technologies, should be supported by a collaborative and team oriented approach.
