UNISA offers an unparalleled range of study choices in undergraduate and postgraduate degrees, and research. As part of Unisa’s commitment to continuous life-long learning, and attention to the constant shifts in industrialization systems and shifts in the knowledge arena, Unisa offers a range of short courses, certificates, diplomas and degrees at undergraduate and postgraduate levels including Masters and Doctoral degrees.

About the role:

UNISA is committed to providing the best teaching and learning, research, development, and innovation and engaged scholarship environments for its students. It is equally committed to promoting access and success for its students through vibrant qualification frameworks at undergraduate and postgraduate levels, and as such, prioritises academic excellence, research, and social responsiveness through knowledge impact as important imperatives. Key to the advancement of the core academic and university missional mandate is the transformation philosophy underpinned by, inter alia, an emphasis on Africanization, decolonization, decoloniality, and centering endogenous /indigenous knowledge systems, Africa’s knowledge systems, civilizations, philosophies, pedagogies, epistemologies and social justice, whilst also embracing proficiency and deep insight and research of other knowledge systems. This position therefore requires an astute academic and leader who not only possesses vast experience as an academic but also has the gravitas and “hands on” experience as an academic leader with the capacity to inculcate these values in all our academic endeavours, including accelerating the 10 Catalytic Niche Areas.

The incumbent of this position must have a clear understanding of 4IR and its implications for teaching and learning and engaged scholarship in the changing higher education and global knowledge landscapes.

It is expected that the incumbent and portfolio will provide strategic direction and managerial leadership aligned to the institutional vision, advice and support pertaining to teaching, learning, community engagement (engaged scholarship) and student learning support. The incumbent must strive to ensure that Unisa becomes a leading CODeL university that develops and provides wide-ranging, flexible and technology enhanced programmes within a strong quality assurance framework for accreditation and related matters in a South African and global context. Taking cognisance of the comprehensive nature of our institution and the changing student profile, the incumbent must develop responsive and student-centered strategies including the development of internship models to produce sought after graduates who have the attributes, discipline, knowledge, and competencies to contribute ethically and creatively to their local, continental and global contexts.

The position is to further ensure a quality undergraduate experience achieved through the strategic alignment and synergies between academic colleges, curriculum development, tuition, the professional development of academic staff, tuition support and student support, and assessment in a technology enhanced CODeL environment.

• A full professor with a minimum of 10 years relevant management experience in Higher Education institutions with at least 5 years at an executive management level.
