Additionally, they will engage in discussions on clinical case studies, conduct practical assessments, and participate in assessment moderation.

This casual teaching position offers competitive remuneration along with a 11.5% University superannuation contribution. Interested individuals are encouraged to reach out to Dr. Afrooz Najafzadeh Abriz, the Course Coordinator, for further information on the role. To apply, candidates must submit their resume, proof of ASAR accreditation, and a cover letter outlining their interest and suitability for the position by the closing date of March 31, 2025.
