Juliey Beckman

Juliey Beckman is an Associate Professor and First Year Coordinator at the Biology Teaching and Learning Centre within the Research School of Biology at the Australian National University (ANU). She also serves as Deputy Head of the Centre, with her office located in Room 1.018, Linnaeus Building. Her contact includes email juliey.beckman@anu.edu.au and office phone +61 2 6125 9091.

Dr. Beckman's research spans animal behavior and biology education. She investigates marsupial ecology (particularly antechinus reproductive biology), urban bird responses to human disturbance (doves and mynas), and insect foraging behavior (mud dauber wasps). Her educational research focuses on curriculum innovation, including research-led teaching approaches and multimedia learning resources for first-year biology students.

Her publication trends reveal dual expertise: ecological studies examine spatial behavior in mammals, prey selection in insects, and anthropogenic impacts on avian species, while educational research emphasizes undergraduate pedagogy and transition support. This interdisciplinary work bridges field ecology with classroom innovation.

She secured a CHELT Fellowship (2015) for "Supporting undergraduate preparation for progression using multimedia learning activities," demonstrating grant acquisition capability. Her Scopus profile shows 93 citations and an h-index of 4 across 9 research outputs.

As Deputy Head and First Year Coordinator, Dr. Beckman leads curriculum development within the Biology Teaching and Learning Centre, shaping ANU's undergraduate biology education through evidence-based teaching practices and collaborative research initiatives.
