Academic Title Holders

Academic Title Holders play a vital role in the University’s mission to deliver excellence in education and research. 

High quality education and research in medicine, biomedical sciences and public health would not be possible without the tireless work of our hospital and clinic-based health professionals. These health professionals come from a variety of different disciplines and backgrounds, ranging from medicine through to dietetics, psychology, nursing, pharmacy, dentistry, physiotherapy, occupational therapy and other allied health areas.

They are vital in training the next generation and to recognise the work of these hardworking health professionals, UQ awards individuals with academic titles.

Every day, our Academic Title Holders teach students, mentor junior researchers, and take on hours of research activity in their own time to improve patient care.

Lecturer (Level B)

A Level B ATH will make a commensurate contribution to the work and strategic advancement of the University and its students.

An advanced professional qualification or higher degree by research would be expected.

In the domain of teaching, a Level B ATH will usually assume a variety of clinical teaching responsibilities at the undergraduate, postgraduate and/or professional level and take responsibility for the preparation and delivery of elements of course materials and related assessments as well as developing their own teaching practice.

In the domain of research, a Level B ATH will undertake individual and/or collaborative research and contribute to funding and external support for research activities. The Level B ATH will have an emerging reputation generated by related research outputs.

In the domain of supervision and researcher development, a Level B ATH will be developing a track record of supervising junior clinical staff and/or students as well as facilitating the development of their supervisee’s skills, competencies, and opportunities for engagement.

In the domain of citizenship and service, a Level B ATH will have an emerging role in professional and external service activities and will demonstrate efficient management of allocated service roles.
