  • Information for Applicants
    Information for applicants Position: Professor of Agriculture and Head of School (Agricultural and Wine Sciences) Message From The Vice-Chancellor and President Thank you for your interest in the role of Professor of Agriculture and Head of School (Agriculture and Wine Sciences) at Charles Sturt University. We are a highly distinctive institution in both Australian and global settings. At 30, Charles Sturt University is a relatively young institution with roots in regional Australia that has rapidly grown to service students and communities across Australia and the world. Charles Sturt Univerity is different because it is focused on its regional communities and it is genuinely distributed – there is no head office. Although it is a large institution in Australian terms, each campus retains a strong sense of community. We are a university with gumption and soul. In my view, this sense of personality and human connection is a critical strategic advantage in a world that is increasingly globalised and homogeneous. The Australian higher education sector has become intensely competitive. The Professor of Agriculture and Head of School (Agriculture and Wine Sciences) has a clear focus on quality learning, teaching and research, alongside ensuring that our approach is innovative and delivers to the needs of the agricultural sector. This role will not only embrace new technology but advocate its use to ensure we are developing sector- leading online, on-campus, undergraduate and postgraduate courses that exceed the expectations of current and future students. Our campuses are spread across New South Wales – there is a lot of travel and the organisational geography complicates the management challenge.
