### Opportunities

**Call for Expressions of Interest (EOIs)**\
\
EOIs are sought from staff with experience in the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) to join the University’s low-risk Human Research Ethics Advisory Panels (HREAPs).

HREAPs play an essential role in ensuring that research involving human participants is conducted ethically, responsibly, and in accordance with national guidelines. With the rise in SoTL related ethics applications, there is a strong need for reviewers who can bring relevant disciplinary and methodological expertise to the review process.
