Teaching Fellow for Physics

Grade 7 (£34,304 – £40,927 p.a. depending on experience)

This role will be based on campus, with scope for it to be undertaken in a hybrid manner. We are also open to discussing flexible working arrangements

Do you have significant teaching experience in Physics? Do you have exceptional skills in enabling students from diverse backgrounds to develop their capability for successful university-level study? Are you able to demonstrate an aptitude for using creative pedagogy and digital technologies to support academic development?

The University of Leeds is one of the top 135 universities in the world. We have a truly global community, with more than 39,000 students from 170 different countries and over 9,000 staff of 100 different nationalities. Established in 1904, we have a strong tradition of academic excellence, reflected in first-class student education, along with world-leading research that has a real impact around the globe.

The Lifelong Learning Centre (LLC) works with mature and part-time undergraduate and foundation-year learners across the University, especially where this enables participation of people from groups that are under-represented in higher education. The science foundation year programmes provide students with a stimulating and supportive environment in which to acquire knowledge and skills for progression to a range of science degrees across the University. They reflect a strong emphasis on widening participation, both for adult and younger students, and also make provision for those who wish to pursue a science degree but lack prerequisite subjects at A level. Foundation year programmes are designed to help students acquire and apply relevant practical and scientific academic knowledge. You will also contribute to the broader academic and pastoral support of students from pre-entry and admissions through to graduation.

Modules in this programme include physics, chemistry and biology. We are looking for someone to lead physics related modules and we would also be interested in candidates with the capacity to teach more than one discipline to build a supportive team, who focus on team goals and the student experience.
