Faculty of Architecture, Design and Planning 

University of Sydney 

Senior Lecturer/Associate Professor in Lighting 

Position Number 653/0310 



The Faculty of Architecture Design & Planning is one of the world’s leading 

lighting teaching and research centres.  Its graduate professional lighting 

program, started in 1979, has graduates on all continents and, in Australia, its 

graduates dominate both the design and supply industries. The program 

emphasises both the art and science of lighting and is firmly based on the 

understanding of people’s response to light. 



Our research facilities can support human factors, colour and daylighting 

research. Opportunities also exist for collaborative research and teaching within 

the university and with institutions around the world. Research has concentrated 

on how people see in real complex environments, colour in design and on 

daylight availability and appropriate design techniques for regions that are 

mainly sunny. For more information about the Design Science (Illumination 

Design) program please visit:
