We pay our respects to their Ancestors and their descendants, who continue cultural and spiritual connections to Country. We recognise their valuable contributions to Australian and global society.
Expression of Interest
Expressions of interest (EOI) are invited from Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander peoples seeking a professional or academic career in any field across UQ. The career opportunities across UQ are limitless and spanning almost every field of work, from art curation to marketing and communication, to marine biology, to accounting, to rocket science. UQ also has a range of generalist career opportunities including student administration, finance, executive and research support, and project officers.
This is an open EOI and unless otherwise requested, we will keep your details on file to consider for our future opportunities, for which we may be in contact. We recommend that you continue to review our careers page for our latest opportunities and apply directly for positions you wish to be considered for via https://careers.uq.edu.au/.
