You will work under the direction of the modules’ owners and deliver taught sessions to undergraduate and postgraduate mathematics students on Aston University’s Campus in Birmingham and on our virtual learning environment (synchronous and asynchronous delivery) using existing teaching materials which you will need to adapt to your own teaching style and to the needs of students. You will work closely with the Programme Directors and Module Leaders within the Department to deliver new and innovative teaching sessions as the Department moves towards a new, blended method of delivering material to its students. You will also assist with developing assessment materials, conducting assessments, and providing timely feedback to students on their progress and attainment.

Experience in successfully delivering a mathematics provision to undergraduate or postgraduate students is highly desirable, as is experience delivering material via online platforms such as Zoom, BlackBoard etc. You will be hardworking, motivated and student-focused, and able to adapt to new situations and requirements. You will need to be able to work independently and as part of a larger team of academics. The successful candidate will be appointed from December 2021 to begin teaching in January 2022.
