You will need to be confident to actively engage in discussion with staff from the Arts and Humanities Faculty.

The successful candidate will review a set of lecture notes and slides designed for an undergraduate mathematics course. The course covers fundamental topics such as basic mathematical functions, trigonometry, differentiation, integration, and introductory probability theory and inference.

The candidate?s primary responsibility will be to help to bridge the gap between mathematics and the natural sciences by relating the mathematical content to examples from the sciences and by linking the mathematical formalism to conventions (mathematical notation  etc.) more commonly used in scientific disciplines. There will also be the opportunity to work with staff in the maths department on the formatting and presentation of content and on the design of assessments. 

Undergraduate level or higher degree in a mathematical science (Engineering or Physics preferred)

• A good understanding of the mathematics required for undergraduate science programmes is essential.
• Experience of delivering undergraduate level mathematics tuition is desirable.
• Experience of supporting preparation of teaching materials for undergraduate mathematics teaching is desirable.
