Julia Gillard has a new job as an honorary visiting professor at her alma mater, the University of Adelaide.

The former prime minister and the university said they were delighted with the appointment, which will begin on November 1.

Vice-Chancellor and President, Professor Warren Bebbington, said Ms Gillard will make a significant contribution to the university's School of History and Politics.

"As Australia's first female prime minister, Julia Gillard has unique knowledge and experience to offer any university and we are honoured that she has chosen to return to the University of Adelaide, where she began her tertiary education," he said in a statement on Wednesday.

"Through her contribution to seminars and our internship program, she will share her experiences and insights with both current and future students."

I wish her well and can't help thinking she'll be much happier in that role.

If JG was offered a choice of this honarary position or remain the PM of Australia.. I think she would choose to remain PM. I don't see that she would be happier under the circumstances to have this job instead of  remaining as PM, at least till the end of the 3yr term.

I hope she gets an overseas job in the future with the UN or similar.

Now she will be able to continue indoctrinating university students into her marxist ideals. If they are stupid enough to adopt them.

I wonder if it was connected to the $100 million she gave to the University just weeks before she lost her job???
