Abstract
[Extract]
Teaching academic (TA) roles in Australian universities have risen three fold over the past decade, making up around 5% of the academic workforce – and further roll outs are expected. But new research suggests that these roles can be a negative career move for academics.
TA roles feature university teaching as the primary or only focus of an academic’s work. This includes teaching, marking, supervision and administration.
