Didactic Trainer
Delft University of Technology
A skilled lecturer is at the basis of every good academic performance. As a didactic trainer, you help the starting lecturers of TU Delft to continuously improve their teaching!
Whether it is quantum mechanics, architecture, or aerospace engineering; the participants in your training courses all belong to the (international) top of their field, and you will guide these smart professionals on their way to their basic University Teaching Qualification (UTQ), and beyond in their continuous professional development. The UTQ is a necessity to be able to (continue to) teach at TU Delft. During this process, you are an inspirator, motivator and coach for the starting teachers, who offers a listening ear or gives a push in the right direction at the right times. Just like us, you stand for modern education. With creative methods and role plays, you involve the whole group and create a pleasant atmosphere in which everyone can develop further.
As a trainer you give UTQ and other didactical trainings, give feedback and assess the candidates. You also evaluate and develop courses together with your colleague trainers and module coordinators. You guide groups of usually around twelve participants. The training courses are blended in design and the topics differ. They may concern the development of education, teaching, individual supervision of students and the development and administration of tests. Your input is especially welcome in the field of assessment. You alternate providing training by, among other things, giving one-on-one feedback and holding final interviews. It may also be the case that a faculty asks you for specific advice, for example when implementing a new assessment method. As a didactic trainer you work evidence informed and stay up to date with the latest developments in education.
You do all this within the Teaching and Learning Services training team, a passionate, caring and international team of about twelve colleagues, who focus on training lecturers and helping to improve education. Our (young) department continues to expand thanks to the focus of the TUD on our quality of education. It is up to you and your colleagues to help our lecturers on their journey.
Are you our new colleague? Please answer the following questions in your motivation letter:
- You have a modern vision on education, are brimming with ideas and know how to convert them into innovative and creative working methods.
- You have an academic working and thinking level and a relevant education and trainer experience, preferably in the field of educational sciences.
- You have some experience in providing didactic training to professionals and you feel comfortable in a university setting.
- You practice what you preach, which means that you activate and enthuse participants with your workshops, are open to feedback from participants and colleagues and can reflect on this.
- You can work independently but also like to work in a team.
- You have an affinity for assessment practices, with knowledge of how to create good exam questions, qualitative assessment analyses, project-based learning and marking rubrics.
- You have intercultural communication skills and enjoy working in an international environment, switching fluently to English (which is the working language in the team and during your trainings).
- A (basic) knowledge of Dutch is a plus.
- Duration of contract is 1 year with prospect of permanent.
- A job of 32-40 hours per week.
- A salary based on scale 11of the CAO for Dutch Universities with a minimum of € 3.974,- and a maximum of € 5.439,- gross per month, plus 8% holiday allowance and an end-of-year bonus of 8.3%.
- An excellent pension scheme via the ABP.
- The possibility to compile an individual employment package every year.
- Discount with health insurers.
- Flexible working week.
- Every year, 232 leave hours (at 38 hours). You can also sell or buy additional leave hours via the individual choice budget.
- Plenty of opportunities for education, training and courses.
- Partially paid parental leave
- Attention for working healthy and energetically with the vitality program.
