  • Facilitate the development of strategic collaborations between RMIT University and European researchers, industry and community partners.
  • Maintain an active research track record through the production of project deliverables and other research outputs, and contribute positively to a collaborative, inclusive and high-performing culture within RMIT Europe.
  • Participate in annual work planning and performance development processes and other RMIT Europe team and Inclusive Cities and Communities (ICC) Cluster activities.
  • Undertake other duties consistent with the classification of Level B/R2 and required for the efficient operation of the RMIT Europe team and the Inclusive Cities and Communities (ICC) Cluster.

  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
