The Faculty of Science, Medicine and Health (SMAH) is positioned to be a major force in connected and science-embedded education and translational science, medical and health research in Australia.

Empowered by first-class teaching and driven by active research and discovery in the top 1% of Universities in the world, this Faculty combines the very best of science, with strong capacity for translation to our global communities' needs and aspirations.

The Graduate School of Medicine (GSM) aims to graduate excellent medical practitioners with a commitment to patient-centred, evidence-based, reflective and cost-effective medical practice, who have the capacity and desire to contribute to the enhancement of health care for persons in all geographic settings but particularly in regional, rural and remote communities.

Closing the gap on Indigenous health and social outcomes is a priority and GSM aims to produce culturally safe medical practitioners.

The Doctor of Medicine (MD) program is delivered primarily on two campuses located in Wollongong and Shoalhaven, as well as in numerous rural sites throughout NSW.

We are seeking to appoint a highly motivated and energetic individual of Australian Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander heritage to support the Associate Professor (Academic Leader, Indigenous Health) to facilitate an integrated Indigenous Health curriculum within the four-year Doctor of Medicine (MD) program.

In this role you will strengthen ongoing links with key local, state and national Indigenous community agencies and organisations, identifying Indigenous Health resources, and helping implement policies for the recruitment, retention and support of Indigenous students within the Graduate School of Medicine.

You will also work closely with the Indigenous Health Discipline within the Faculty of Science, Medicine and Health and UOW's Indigenous Resource Centre, Woolyungah, along with the multidisciplinary Rural Health Club.
