Faculty of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences

The Faculty of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences (M+BS) is an internationally acclaimed provider of world-class education and research. M+BS is a research-intensive Faculty that has a budget of almost $300M. M+BS offers Australia's largest medical degree program for graduates and school-leavers. Undergraduate and postgraduate programs are available in the disciplines of Medicine, Health Sciences, eHealth, Mental Health, Biomedical Sciences and Public Health.

M+BS possesses enormous strengths spanning research, teaching, industry engagement and clinical practice in disciplines ranging from the basic sciences, biomedical research and development, to clinical trials and public health.  UQ has recently reorganised its Medical faculty structure to drive better student outcomes and student experience. As a result, this senior opportunity is available.

The Director has primary responsibility for the development and implementation of the MD/MBBS program. A key focus of the role is enhancing the student experience and facilitating exceptional student outcomes by providing academic leadership and driving innovation and excellence in research-led teaching.

Reporting to the Medical Dean, the Director of Office of Medical Education (OME) is responsible for oversighting the physical, financial, human and intellectual resources of the OME and ensure the office operates within budget, providing strategic leadership in the development of new funding opportunities, fostering a culture which ensures outstanding academic and professional staff leaders are attracted and retained in the area of medical education, and promoting the activities and outputs of the OME to the broader medical education community locally and nationally.

The person

This is an exceptional opportunity for an inspirational medical academic to develop and implement Australia's largest medical program. The role could suit a senior academic such as a Departmental Head, with experience in curriculum development; innovation in educational methods; and the management of people underpinned by strong operational skills.

Remuneration

This is a full time, fixed term appointment for 5 years at Academic Level D or E. An attractive remuneration package will be negotiated with the successful candidate including 17% superannuation.
