The successful applicant will have a primary expertise in one of the following areas: critical theory; theatre history; dramaturgy; or Early Modern Theatre. A specialism in New Zealand or Australasian drama would be advantageous, as would the ability to direct workshop exercises and student productions.
The appointee will be expected to have a PhD, to have an excellent research record with an international reputation in their specialist field; to have significant supervisory experience, and the potential to attract new post-graduate enrolments; and to have extensive experience of teaching at the tertiary level.  A Professor is expected to be an academic leader within their discipline, and more broadly within the university community.
