The main responsibilities of the postholder will be to teach students at undergraduate level, including academic tutoring, personal tutoring, laboratory demonstrating (including development of new experiments), and lecturing (including setting and marking of examinations) as appropriate. Other key duties will be to provide course administration support. You will also be expected to contribute to the administration of the Department, to participate fully in the internal life of the Department and to enhance its reputation for pedagogy.
The postholder will be expected to support and develop teaching in the Department of Life Sciences. We will particularly encourage applications from individuals who can teach the core curriculum on biology and biochemistry courses. The successful applicant will report to the Director of Undergraduate Studies.

You must also have teaching experience and be able to teach your subject to both specialists and non-specialists at undergraduate level. Evidence of administrative capacity, and experience of E-learning, would be an advantage, but are not essential.
