Graduate teaching opportunities in the Department

We are seeking well-motivated Graduate Teaching Assistants (GTAs) to assist in the delivery, on-going development, and assessment of our Masters programmes within the Department of Surgery and Cancer.

Within the Department, we offer a number of postgraduate taught programmes for students to further their knowledge and expertise in:

• Cancer Biology (MRes)

• Healthcare and Design (MSc)
• Medical Robotics and Image-Guided Intervention (MRes)

• Surgical Innovation (MSc, PG Cert, PG Dip)

What are we looking for

The GTA role will involve working in a growing education team to assist in the development of course content, post-production, evaluation work, assessment and marking. It is ideally suited to PhD or postdoc level. Whether you are just starting a career in public health or continuing or have finished your studies, this opportunity will provide you with a range of skills in both teaching, digital learning, and allow you to showcase and build your public health skills.

What does the role involve?

We offer flexible opportunities for those who can contribute as a Graduate Teaching Assistant.

The majority of our GTAs are set up as casual workers. Casual workers are paid on a monthly basis and are not offered employment on a contract basis.

If we have a specific needs for a longer term GTA role the GTA Role Descriptor (Doc) outlines the potential tasks and responsibilities as part of the role, but this will depend on your experience and background.

Ideally, we are looking for someone who can support various aspects flexibly across different modules at different points of the academic year with the option of flexible working/working remotely and starting as soon as possible.

There is a possibility of longer-term contact options both part and full time, depending on interest and skill. Do not be discouraged to apply if you will not be available straight away, as there are multiple opportunities, and more coming in the future.

If recruited as a casual worker the rate of pay depends on the type of work carried out, which would be either:

• Rate 1: (processing and responding to specific tasks already designed and developed, including marking): basic rate of £17.59 p.h
  
• Rate 2 (more detailed academic content design and development): basic rate of £30.31 p.h

You must have the right to work in the UK and a valid National Insurance Number for this position.

Further information about casual worker status at Imperial College can be found on the Human Resources webpages.
