Casual Academic (Tutoring) Opportunities

Casual Academic Staff

Casual Academics are valued staff members and play a key role in delivering exceptional teaching to our students. Casual Academic staff may be engaged to fulfil a wide range of duties, including (but not limited to) lecturing, tutoring, and marking, across multiple academic areas.  Casual Academic staff are paid according to the category of their duties, as detailed in Schedule 3 of UQ’s Enterprise Agreement and on the UQ casual academic staff salaries web page.

At UQ, currently enrolled higher degree research students are the preferred source of candidates for casual academic roles.

You must have work rights in Australia for the duration of this appointment to apply. Visa sponsorship is not available for this appointment. 

We value diversity and inclusion, and actively encourage applications from those who bring diversity to the University. UQ’s Diversity and Inclusion webpage contains further information if you require additional support.
