About the Position

RMIT University is a long-established provider of applied marketing education and research that has genuine industry impact.

The Marketing major is the largest of the 14 majors in the Bachelor of Business program, and the Master of Marketing program at RMIT has been a leader for over 20 years.

Next year, we are introducing an innovative new major focusing on marketing technology into the new Bachelor of Commerce program being launched by the University.

As a result, the Marketing Department needs to grow, and we are seeking a number of passionate marketing academics to join our department.

You will be joining a group of around 30 academics, but also other Marketing staff based in our Graduate School and Vietnam campuses.

The size of the department means mentoring, innovation and professional development opportunities abound.

The Marketing Department is housed within the School of Economics, Finance and Marketing. It is a leader within RMIT and across the discipline internationally, with staff regularly winning both teaching and research awards, leading research centres and contributing to public discourse on key issues.

The Department teaches undergraduate and postgraduate programs in Australia, Singapore and online using various teaching modes.

The Department also has a strong research profile and an active research culture, with current staff publishing in elite journals including the Journal of Marketing, Journal of Consumer Research, International Journal of Research in Marketing, Industrial Marketing Management, European Journal of Marketing, Journal of Business Research , and holding ARC grants.

Our research focus is on industry-relevant transformative consumer and brand research, enabled by technology and across digital contexts.

We are seeking innovative marketing academics whose education and research interests lie at the intersection of marketing and business technologies.

The role of a Lecturer is to balance the creation and dissemination of knowledge through teaching, research, and industry engagement.

The Lecturer will make a significant contribution to the delivery of Marketing programs, and to be actively involved in research, consulting, and other professional activities.

This includes engagement with the relevant industry stakeholders, attracting competitive grants, publications in high impact journals and effective supervision of postgraduate research students and postdoctoral research staff.

The Lecturer will assist the School of Economics, Finance and Marketing in maintaining learning and teaching excellence and developing programs, as well as carry out administrative tasks for the School in both its onshore and offshore activities.

The Lecturer is expected to work collaboratively and collegially with fellow academics within teaching, program and research teams, and update colleagues and students on developments in their subject area or specialisation.

The Lecturer may be responsible for course coordination.
