Charles Sturt University is currently recruiting to multiple vacancies on the Charles Sturt University Animal Ethics Committee.

The current vacancies include:

The Animal Ethics Committee reviews teaching and research proposals involving the scientific use of animals to ensure that they are ethically acceptable and follow relevant standards and guidelines. The Committee also ensures that the use of animals is justified, provides for the welfare of those animals and incorporates into their use the principles of replacement, reduction and refinement.
