About You
We are seeking a globally recognised, forward-thinking academic leader to take on this flagship role. You will hold a PhD in Finance, Economics, or a closely related discipline, and bring a distinguished and sustained record of publishing in top-tier journals. Your track record will reflect not only research excellence, but also the ability to secure competitive funding and lead high-impact research initiatives that shape the global finance landscape.
Beyond your scholarly achievements, you are an inspiring and inclusive leader who is energised by developing people and ideas. You are deeply committed to teaching excellence and bring a strong record of supervising Higher Degree by Research candidates to successful completion. Through your mentorship, you cultivate talent, elevate performance, and help build a thriving, high-achieving academic community.
You are also highly adept at translating academic insight into real-world impact — building meaningful partnerships with industry, government, and professional bodies. With a strong sense of academic citizenship, you contribute thoughtfully to governance and play an active role in shaping a collaborative, values-driven culture.
About UQ
As part of the UQ community, you will have the opportunity to work alongside the brightest minds, who have joined us from all over the world, and within an environment where interdisciplinary collaborations are encouraged. At the core of our teaching remains our students, and their experience with us sets a foundation for success far beyond graduation. UQ has made a commitment to making education opportunities available for all Queenslanders, regardless of personal, financial, or geographical barriers.
As part of our commitment to excellence in research and professional practice in academic contexts, we are proud to provide our staff with access to world-class facilities and equipment, grant writing support, greater research funding opportunities, and other forms of staff support and development.
