Dean of the Faculty of Business and Economics

The University of Melbourne is Australia’s leading university and one of the world’s most respected institutions, consistently ranked among the top 20 globally (QS 2025).

The Faculty of Business and Economics is central to this reputation, comprised of six departments and bringing together internationally recognised expertise in business, management, and economics. The Faculty has built an international reputation for shaping business and economic thought, advancing world-class research, and preparing the next generation of leaders for impact across industry, government, and society.

The Dean will lead the Faculty to strengthen its global profile, foster cutting-edge research, innovate in teaching and learning, and expand the reach of its impact. With vision and ambition, the Dean will engage colleagues, students, alumni, and partners to consolidate Melbourne’s standing as a hub of thought leadership and academic excellence. The Dean will report to the Provost and will be a member of the University Executive, contributing to strategic leadership and oversight of the institution.

Candidates will bring strong academic credentials, proven leadership in complex environments, and a record of engaging with industry, government, and the international higher education community. The Dean will lead a faculty comprised of over 500 academic staff and 10,000 students, with responsibility for unifying its departments and programs under a shared mission and strategy. In doing so, the Dean will inspire colleagues, students, and alumni, position the Faculty at the forefront of international rankings, and ensure its reputation for academic excellence, graduate outcomes, and thought leadership continues to grow.
