Academic Staff Elections

Colleagues

Following a call for nominations to elect two members of the academic staff of the University to the ANU Council, a total of four nominations were received.  This election has two categories:   

• One must have duties with a predominant research focus (‘the Academic staff (Institute) member”)
• One must have duties involving both teaching and research (“the Academic staff (Faculties) member”).

One nomination was received for the Academic staff (Institute) member, therefore, as Returning Officer I declare that Professor Sasha (Alexander) Mikheyev has been elected unopposed.  The term of this appointment is from 30 September 2026 to 29 September 2028.

The three nominated candidates for the Academic Staff (Faculties) member are:

• Associate Professor Elise Klein OAM
• Dr Jessie Moritz
• Associate Professor Bryan Wang

You can view the election details and a statement from each candidate on this web page.
