Through a unique collaboration of academics, we are building a new understanding of these metabolic conditions to improve health, treatment and health outcomes in Australia and worldwide. To contribute to this important work, the Faculty of Nursing and Midwifery is seeking a scholar of international distinction. The vision of the Faculty of Nursing and Midwifery (also known as Sydney Nursing School) is to create and sustain a vibrant environment of engaged enquiry of the highest quality and impact; one which emphasises the indivisibility of research, education, practice and policy. The purpose of our engaged enquiry is the advancement of health and wellbeing at all levels. The faculty sits within the University of Sydney's Division of Medicine, Dentistry, Nursing and Pharmacy. Staff and students are enabled to experience inter-professional collaboration as part of a strong research community. The focus of scholarship in the faculty is to improve health, the quality of care, and the health-related experience of people at times of vulnerability. The faculty is increasing capability for research leadership in key areas identified by the University of Sydney Health and Medical Research Strategic Review - chronic disease (obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular disease); cancer; mental health; immunity and infection. These key areas are also faculty research priorities and complement our existing research strengths in midwifery and women's health; palliative care; ageing; acute, critical and trauma care.
