Overview

We currently have an opening for several Teaching Fellows who will teach, advise and facilitate the experiential learning of students in formal and informal teaching and learning sessions, using appropriate educational best practices to maximise learning and promote a positive student experience.

The Teaching Fellows will focus on delivery of modules that contribute to the Biochemistry, Medical Genetics, Biomedical Science, Pharmacology, Neuroscience, Biology and Psychology degree programmes

• Teaching and the evaluation and assessment of student achievement and development
• Managing the surrounding student support through e.g. feedback
• Contributing to the evaluation and assessment of modules
• Providing advisorial support to students

• Leading on relevant administrative tasks relevant to the module or programme

Candidates must have a postgraduate degree and/or relevant professional qualification and/or equivalent professional experience in a relevant field. We are looking for candidates who can contribute to any of the programmes above but are also particularly keen to invite candidates with expertise in Bioinformatics (particularly coding in R), Statistics, Genetics, Microbiology, Immunology, Clinical and/or Molecular Pharmacology.

The School of Biological and Behavioural Sciences is a large and expanding academic unit, which provides a supportive and friendly environment and encourages interdisciplinary research.

At Queen Mary University of London, we believe that a diversity of ideas helps us achieve the previously unthinkable. Throughout our history, we’ve fostered social justice and improved lives through academic excellence. We continue to live and breathe this spirit today, not because it’s simply ‘the right thing to do’ but for what it helps us achieve and the intellectual brilliance it delivers. We continue to embrace diversity of thought and opinion in everything we do, in the belief that when views collide, disciplines interact, and perspectives intersect, truly original thought takes form.

We offer competitive salaries, access to a generous pension scheme, 30 days’ leave per annum, a season ticket loan scheme, staff networks and access to a comprehensive range of personal and professional development opportunities. In addition, we offer a range of work life balance and family friendly, inclusive employment policies, flexible working arrangements, and campus facilities including an on-site nursery at the Mile End campus.

The posts are based at the Mile End Campus in London. They are full time and fixed term contracts for up to 12 months. The salary will be in Grade 5, in the range of £39,815 – £43,176 per annum, inclusive of London Allowance.

Queen Mary’s commitment to our diverse and inclusive community is embedded in our appointments processes. Reasonable adjustments will be made at each stage of the recruitment process for any candidate with a disability.
