Closing dates for OLT Academic Secondments for 2013 announced

Dear all

The Office for Learning and Teaching has announced the closing dates for nominations for Academic Secondments.

Academic Secondments aim to enhance the ties and understanding between the sector, the OLT and DIISRTE. 

Secondees will carry out a program of work for the Government and the higher education sector on strategic priorities. Those seconded will be a source of academic advice and support to the staff of the OLT, with the aim of broadening staff capability within DIISRTE, and building relationships with the home institution.  

Selection is based on individuals’ professional standing and leadership capabilities, their strong record of contributing to learning and teaching development in their discipline, home institution, and/or more broadly across the higher education sector, their role in policy development and implementation, and demonstrated project management experience, including dissemination and promotion of funded work.

Information regarding the Academic Secondment program and nomination forms may be found on our website at http://www.olt.gov.au/fellowships-and-secondments/secondments.

The closing date for nomination is Friday 26 April 2013.

I would be most grateful if you would encourage your staff who meet these criteria, and would benefit from the experience, to apply. The OLT has gained an enormous benefit from the first secondment and the feedback from the sector on Tilly Hinton's work has been overwhelmingly positive.

Kind regards
