The Atlantic Fellows for Social Equity (AFSE) is an Indigenous-led social change mid-career fellowship program established at the University of Melbourne in 2016 and funded by the Atlantic Philanthropies. Informed by Indigenous perspectives and grounded in Indigenous community engagement, the program is designed to support social change leaders and collaborative leadership. AFSE is one of seven Atlantic Fellows Programs around the world, supported by Atlantic Institute at Oxford University. 

The University seeks an Executive Director who will be responsible for the overall management of AFSE, and who brings a depth and breadth of Indigenous knowledge, and experience working with Indigenous people and communities.

They will lead the AFSE team in actively engaging communities of Indigenous knowledge holders (at a local, regional and global level), government, industry, philanthropic organisations, not-for-profits and academics.
