[Announcement from SCRA-L]

The University of Auckland is also seeking a Lecturer in Community/Youth Development – also a great fit for a community psychologist!  Please feel free to circulate to anyone who may be interested. The position description is available via the following link: https://www.opportunities.auckland.ac.nz/psp/ps/EMPLOYEE/HRMS/c/HRS_HRAM.HRS_CE.GBL?languageCd=ENG

Employment Opportunity:
Faculty of Education
School of Counselling, Human Services and Social Work
Lecturer – Community/Youth Development
The Faculty of Education is looking for someone who is committed to making a difference in the area of community and/or youth development.  You will need to have passion, enthusiasm and a completed doctorate (or a nearly completed doctorate and publications) in an area relevant to community and/or youth development.  
The Faculty of Education at the University of Auckland is undertaking a significant change programme to ensure it builds on its position as New Zealand’s highest internationally ranked Faculty of Education. As an important part of this process we are now seeking to fill several new Lecturer and Senior Lecturer positions in a variety of disciplinary areas and relevant practice communities.  If you want to be part of a Faculty of Education and Social Work that is world-class, dynamic, and focussed on making a positive difference to people’s lives then we are interested in hearing from you.
This is an exciting opportunity for someone who shows the capacity and desire to develop a strong national and international publication record. You will have a deep knowledge of, and experience in, working with Pasifika or Maori communities and have strong connections with community organisations delivering social services. Ideally you would already be publishing in the field and would have a teaching focus in community and-or youth development. You may already have experience teaching at both the undergraduate and post-graduate level and have the ability to proactively initiate opportunities for postgraduate supervision.  
We are seeking someone who wants to work in a collaborative team environment, not only within their school but across the faculty, and who can demonstrate the potential to lead aspects of teaching and research. You need to be willing to participate in service to the school, faculty, profession and discipline and have the desire to contribute to building a strong performance based culture in a faculty that aspires to lead learning and change lives.
