AAIR has recently appointed Dr Lizzie Li (Evaluations Coordinator & Analyst, The University of Auckland, NZ) as its incoming newsletter editor. Lizzie will commence her appointment in January 2019. Our former Editor, Tracy Creagh, has stepped down after two years in the role, and will assist Lizzie with the transition in January.

AAIR is now seeking a co-editor to work Lizzie in helping to bring the world of IR news to our readers inboxes.

Are you looking for a little something extra to add another string to your bow, show off your skills, learn some new ones, while also helping your Association?

Imagine what it would be like if everyone in your Association knew your face and knew your name. Your profile would instantly be raised amongst your peers.

This is a fantastic professional development opportunity to increase your knowledge of the sector and gain an in-depth understanding of higher education issues at both international and domestic levels. It is hoped that the incoming co-editor will work alongside the new Editor for our first issue in January 2019.

The incoming editors are welcome to take the Newsletter in new directions – to add their personal stamp, if you will. We are open to your ideas and happy to discuss how AAIR can best support you in the role. The key for AAIR is that the content keeps our members informed and is of interest to our broad readership, which now numbers over 900 subscribers.

Tracy has provided all the necessary resources to the incoming editors regarding where topical information can be sourced, and will receive any necessary training during the handover period (January 2019).

This is great opportunity for you to advance your own professional development and become more involved in your Association. If you are interested in working with Lizzie to bring IR news to the world, please click the Explore button below to read the full position description.
