University of Otago, Dunedin, New Zealand

Department of Information Science

Lecturer / Senior Lecturer - Information Science-1800582

The University of Otago is one of New Zealand’s largest and most 
research-intensive universities, ranked in the top 1% in the QS World 
University ranking.

The Department of Information Science is part of the Otago Business 
School, which has an international reputation for excellence in teaching 
and research. We are excited to be part of a field that shapes our 
future. Our award-winning staff conduct research in cutting-edge areas 
of Information Science and work closely with industry. We are now 
seeking to make two permanent academic appointments at Lecturer/Senior 
Lecturer level.

We foster a collaborative and collegial approach to teaching and 
research. This is a rare opportunity to combine a successful academic 
career with the work-life balance people at Otago enjoy. The University 
of Otago is located in the city of Dunedin (South Island, Aotearoa/New 
Zealand). Dunedin offers an outstanding quality of life, temperate 
climate, and close proximity to Queenstown, the Central Otago Lakes, ski 
fields, and New Zealand’s alpine National Parks.

*/The Role/*

We are looking for candidates from all areas of Information Science, 
including Software Engineering, Information Systems, Artificial 
Intelligence, Data Science, Human-Computer Interaction, and Health 
Informatics. The department has a strong international reputation in the 
fields of Autonomous Systems, Evolutionary Computation, Virtual and 
Augmented Reality, Pattern Recognition and Machine Learning, and 
Software Project Management.

A particular focus on the ability to teach Information Security and 
Assurance is required for one of the vacant positions.

In teaching and research, you will have the opportunity to collaborate 
with a range of areas within the department and university-wide. It is 
expected that you will develop an independent and productive research 
programme.

*/Selection Criteria/*

• PhD degree (essential).

• Active research portfolio, with evidence of high-quality work (essential).

• Industry experience or exposure to non-academic aspects of the 
discipline (beneficial).

• Experience with building technical artefacts (information systems, 
software components, prototypes) (beneficial).

• Prior teaching experience is beneficial (essential for appointment at 
Senior Lecturer).

• Collaborative and collegial approach to teaching and research.

To be successful in this role, you will ideally combine technical 
understanding with an ability to apply information science to the wider 
world.

*/Further details/*

These are permanent, full-time confirmation path (“tenure track”) positions.

The Department is committed to diversity in staffing. We strongly 
encourage applications from women and other groups who are 
underrepresented in Information Science. The University has generous 
parental leave provisions 
<http://www.otago.ac.nz/humanresources/working-at-otago/> and operates 
childcare centres <http://www.otago.ac.nz/childcare/index.html> covering
