Tutor Administration

Information for casual academics who are to be employed as lecturers/tutors/demonstrators in the school of Aerospace, Mechanical and Mechatronic Engineering.

For UOS coordinators :

AMME has changed the casual academics claim system to "Sessional Based" contracts which no longer involve weekly claim form submissions. UoS coordinators are contacted a few weeks before start of semester and asked to submit their requirements for tutors/demonstrators for the upcoming semester. Please contact the AMME casual academics coordinator Dr Rod Fiford for further information.

For Tutors and other Casual Academic Staff :

Once a casual academic has been approved for appointment, an email will be sent to the casual academic outlining the process involved for appointment. The appropriate forms will then be available for collection from the School's admin office, as detailed in the email that is sent.

The School of AMME places restrictions on the number of hours a casual academic can work; 7 hours for undergraduate students and fulltime research staff, 20 hours for postgraduate students and part time research staff. Hours are counted as total hours including preparation and marking.

If you have not worked within the University of Sydney within the previous 12 months, you will need to provide; proof of work visa (if not an Australian citizen), proof of identity and residency (photo ID eg driver's license, birth certificate or passport) and a tax file number declaration form (available from post offices). You will also need to complete a bank account form (available from school admin assistant).

If you have worked within the University of Sydney within the previous 12 months, you will need to provide proof of a valid, current work visa (if not an Australian citizen).

All casual academics that have not worked within the Faculty of Engineering and Information Technology as casual academics before MUST attend the Faculty run casual academic training session, generally held in the week before lectures commence. This is a Faculty policy and a condition of your employment. Details of the training session will be communicated via email.
