Macquarie is the university of pioneering minds. Globally recognised as one of Australia's leading research universities, Macquarie is a place where extraordinary new possibilities come to light. We've helped people to hear, introduced wireless internet technology to the world and broken through traditional boundaries by appointing the Australia's first female vice-chancellor.

At Macquarie you'll join a vibrant community of diverse perspectives, all working towards a brighter future for our communities and our planet. Surrounded by beautiful parkland campus, our students and staff are free to explore and discover, supported by facilities including a high-tech library, private teaching hospital, gym and pools, childcare facilities, a campus train station and the newly expanded Macquarie Centre shopping complex next door. 

Join us and start seeing the world in a different light. 

The university offers students the opportunity to participate in the internationally award-winning Global Leadership Program (GLP), an extracurricular program. The program is designed to equip graduates with cross cultural competencies, an understanding of international issues, practical experience and community engagement through a series of workshops, keynote events and experiential activities.

GLP graduates are distinguished by their strong sense of global justice, acute awareness of the issues affecting the global community, and a keen awareness and enthusiasm for working together to achieve a better world for all. No matter where they go, Global Leadership Program students take with them a global mind-set that drives them to serve others, be active members of the community, and to lead by example.

The GLP team has an exciting opportunity for an enthusiastic, motivated, service-oriented professional to join the busy team. The successful candidate will be responsible for major program components, including the Colloquia and Think Series and the Symposium Series (International and Domestic), as well as providing advice and support to current and future students.
