From the Vice-Chancellor and President, Professor Sharon Pickering

I warmly welcome your interest in the position of Dean, Faculty of Education; an important role within my leadership team and for Monash University.

Monash is a place of excellence, energised and driven by our shared civic purpose and committed to working at scale and pace for the benefit of society and our communities. We are a place to challenge and be challenged.

Distinguished by an entrepreneurial and inclusive culture, in little more than 60 years, we've earned an enviable reputation, ranking among the world's top universities for our excellence in research and teaching.

We are a distinctively global university with a network of international campuses and centres comprising Malaysia, Indonesia, China, India and Italy. Our unique presence across the Indo-Pacific region is a significant opportunity to build on our positive impact in collaboration with communities, industry and governments.

Our Strategic Plan - Impact 2030, is purpose driven and articulates our goal to reach beyond the University to local, national and international communities. It defines the national and global contributions Monash can make to addressing the major challenges of our age:  climate change, geopolitical security and thriving communities. Our faculties are central to realising this ambition.

The next Dean will take the helm of one of the world’s top Education faculties, and one of the largest of its kind. Through its offerings in education, counselling and psychology, the faculty is committed to achieving excellence and impact, and making a positive difference in the lives of others. The stellar performance of the faculty is built on the solid foundations of a cohesive senior management team and deeply engaged staff – all dedicated to delivering an inclusive, diverse and innovative education, preparing graduates for success in a wide range of careers.

This is a significant opportunity for an engaging and visionary leader whose passion for education, collaborative style and international mindset will further build on the established strengths and excellence of the faculty, and deliver on untapped opportunities for the betterment of the faculty’s students and staff, the University and the communities we serve.

I hope you will consider this exciting opportunity to become a part of my senior management team, and this extraordinary university.
