What to know

  • Ardern has taken a professor of practice role at University of Sydney focusing on empathetic leadership, social cohesion, and public health—not a full-time position.
  • She joins the university's School of Public Health and will work with the Sydney Policy Lab to develop approaches to values-based leadership and health equity.
  • Ardern moved to Sydney in 2026 after fellowships at Harvard and Oxford, purchasing a $5.3 million home on the northern beaches; this appointment provides institutional anchoring for her life in Australia.

The appointment is well-suited to Ardern and reflects her strengths in empathetic leadership.

  • “NZ's best PM of all time has a new job in Sydney and it sounds like it's made for her.”

“The opportunity to learn from Dame Jacinda is exceptional. They will meet not only a former prime minister, but a thoughtful teacher with a great deal to share about public leadership and service.”
