We value difference and diversity, and welcome and celebrate everyone’s contributions, lived experience and expertise. That’s why we champion an inclusive and respectful workplace culture where everyone is supported to succeed.
Together with our commitment to academic freedom, you will have access to quality research facilities, infrastructure, world class teaching spaces, and international collaboration opportunities.
The Opportunity
Monash is honoured to be the first Australian university to receive a licence to operate in China, one of the world’s largest and fastest-growing economies, via the partnership at Suzhou with the Southeast University (SEU), one of China’s key national universities as well as the establishment of Monash (Suzhou). The SEU-Monash partnership consists of the Joint Research Institute (JRI) and the Joint Graduate School (JGS) and will produce postgraduates and researchers with ideas to change people’s lives in the region and the world for the better.
The collaboration is based at Suzhou Industrial Park (SIP), which is one of the largest innovation precincts in China and is recognised as one of the world’s most dynamic places for converting clever research into valuable industrial processes and products. It is a hub for more than 100 Fortune 500 companies, 480 R&D organisations, as well as 10 national and 28 international higher education institutions. Discover more at www.monash.edu/suzhou.
To facilitate the collaboration Monash established the Monash Suzhou Science and Technology Research Institute (Monash Suzhou Research Institute (MSRI) in short), a not-for-profit research institute in SIP. MSRI aims to provide a wide range of R&D support to Monash in China in six priority research areas including:
- Advanced computation in science and engineering
- Advanced materials and manufacturing
- Energy and environment
- Future cities
- Life sciences
- Sustainable development
MSRI aims to attract outstanding researchers and high-calibre research students. Research in the long term will not be limited only to the above themes; based on the research strengths of SEU and Monash, research in other areas will also be developed and promoted in time. It is the intention to build up a critical mass of researchers at the MSRI and the JRI and strengthen relationships in R&D with local and international industries and other institutions in China.
We are seeking an individual passionate about undertaking research in Translation Interpreting Studies as well as multidisciplinary research through the application of Translation / Interpreting theories and methodologies to problems in one or more of the six research themes above.
You will also be responsible for teaching Chinese-English interpreting and translation units that form part of the Double Masters in Interpreting and Translation Studies in the JGS, and supervision of graduate research students at Master and PhD levels.
To be successful in this position you will have completed a doctoral qualification in Translation Studies, or related discipline area together with subsequent research and teaching experience; a record of publications and high-level technical skills and abilities.
An appropriately qualified appointee will be offered an honorary adjunct appointment as a Senior Lecturer with the Faculty of Arts of Monash University, to be held conjointly with the appointment as Senior Research Fellow, MSRI.
Diversity is one of our greatest strengths at Monash. We encourage applications from First Nations people, culturally and linguistically diverse people, people with disabilities, neurodiverse people, and people of all genders, sexualities, and age groups.
Be part of our story. Work with us to #ChangeIt.
