Being an academic at UTS and ‘market session’

This session is for teaching and research academics new to UTS. In it we’ll be discussing how you can make the most of the program to survive being a new staff member and develop and advance your academic career. We will try to help you make connections between the development program, your goals and work plans and the processes of tenure, probation and promotion. There will be plenty of opportunities for you to discuss issues and ask questions.

Make connections with people who can provide support for staff and students. Successful new academics tend to seek out and get to know useful contact people across the university. This ‘market session’ is your opportunity to meet and ask individual questions of people who provide help for your academic work and/or for your students. These include representatives from the following UTS units, centres, schools and service groups:

•   Research & Innovation Office

•   Graduate Research School

•   Maths Study Centre

•   UTS Library

•   Student Services Unit

•   Planning & Quality Unit

•   Equity & Diversity Unit

•   Information Technology Division

…. as well as other relevant groups will be present to chat with you, answer individual questions and provide information about their services for staff and/or students.
