Opportunity to work within a collaborative community, rather than in isolation
This position is open to Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander applicants only. UNSW considers that being Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander is a genuine occupational qualification under s 14 of the Anti-Discrimination Act 1977 (NSW).
The Opportunity
This position is a joint Education & Research Focused appointment between the Blakcademy and the School of Population Health, Discipline of Nursing. The position is designed to focus on developing First Peoples Nursing Education and Research in the School and Faculty. The position contributes to First Peoples educational innovation, curriculum development, professional development, student experience, and academic compliance.
This position will demonstrate strong knowledge of Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander health, including First Peoples knowledges, cultures, strengths, and self-determining approaches to health and wellbeing, alongside the impacts of colonisation, racism, and other structural determinants of health. The role requires experience in nursing or health professional education, teaching, assessment, and curriculum design that embeds Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander knowledges, cultural capability, cultural safety, and anti-racist practice. The successful candidate will work collaboratively with First Peoples communities and partners to support culturally responsive education and contribute to equitable health outcomes.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
