ALT screenshot of job notice: Dear PGR and PD students As you may already be aware, the School's arrangements for recruiting teaching assistance for the first year core modules is changing for the coming academic year (2024-25). We are moving to recruit part-time post-doc Teaching Associates to cover this teaching. If you would be interested in applying for a Teaching Associate position, please see the job advert, available here. Closing date: 24 April 2024 Note that these are post-doc positions. Do consider applying if you have your doctorate already, are currently doing corrections of 3-months or less, have an imminent Viva in the diary and/or are expecting the award of your doctorate imminently. The new arrangements mean we will have fewer, if any, Graduate Tutor opportunities to teach seminars in SOCSI going forward. Our Tutors have provided invaluable teaching assistance for the School over the years, from which our students have benefitted enormously. ...

ALT Screenshot of job notice: However, student needs are changing and new pressures have emerged. Our first year teaching is becoming more complex and demanding to administer, making the current system less workable, and we need to ensure greater consistency for our students in their classroom and assessment experiences. Hence we are looking for Teaching Associates to cover forthcoming sessions from September on. There may still be some capacity for us to employ a reduced number of PGR tutors for next session, since we do not know as yet what interest the new roles will attract. If any such opportunities do become available for PGR students, we will invite expressions of interest from you at a later date. Do circulate the link to the Teaching Associate advert among your contacts too, remembering it's a post-doc position.
