We are currently seeking applications from suitably qualified and experienced

Applicants with teaching and/or curriculum design experience are sought to
teach and undertake subject development in the Associate Degree in Policing
Practice.
Utilising the resources of both a large residential police academy and a

dedicating workload to professional industry liaison, and maintaining sound
relationships with industry agencies at the NSW Police Force Academy.
Staff will be enrolled in the fee-free postgraduate course, the Graduate

formal award allows academic staff the opportunity to undertake professional
development to strengthen learning and teaching theory and practice and embed
Charles Sturt values, policies, systems and frameworks.
A generous relocation package will be offered to the successful candidate(s)
to assist with relocating to Goulburn, NSW. Goulburn offers an affordable
and relaxed regional lifestyle with city benefits, making it an ideal location
for a tree change.

curriculum design or a combination of all.
Willingness to undertake annual field placement as part of ongoing
development.

About us
We are a university of the land and people of our regions. True to the
character of regional Australia we have gumption, we have soul and we
collaborate with others. We develop holistic, far-sighted people who help
their communities grow and flourish. The Wiradjuri phrase yindyamarra
winhanganha means the wisdom of respectfully knowing how to live well in a
world worth living in. This phrase represents who we are at Charles Sturt
University – our ethos. It comes from traditional Indigenous Australian
knowledge, but it also speaks to the mission of universities – to develop and
spread wisdom to make the world a better place. Harnessing technology, we
thrive as a distributed yet connected community, welcoming and engaging with
people across Australia and the world.
