About the job
Fixed term: 3 years, part time: 0.5FTE (18.5 hours per week)
Please note that employment in the post of Graduate Teaching Assistant is contingent on the continuation of PhD study
Interview date: 7/8 August 2024
We are looking for two highly motivated and committed individuals with a willingness and ability to contribute to the teaching and learning on a range of modules on our BA (Hons) Sociology undergraduate programme, as well as other related activities in sociology, whilst also pursuing further postgraduate research (MPhil/PhD) studies.
Ideally, each GTA will be best suited to facilitate their own and students teaching and learning in the following sociological subfields aligned with their already allocated modules for the academic year and one of the Centre for Psychological and Social Sciences Special Interest groups:
- GTA One: sex/gender, health/wellbeing, identities/self
- GTA Two: inequalities, race/ethnicity, environment/sustainability
The successful candidates will register as a postgraduate research student (associated fees will covered by the faculty) in an area aligned with either: 1) the specific modules listed for either of the two GTA posts that they will deliver from the academic year; 2) the wider range of modules on our current UON BA (Hons) Sociology undergraduate programme; and/or 3) other potential sociology topics, such as those listed on the QAA Sociology Benchmark Statement.
How to apply:
Please submit an online application and email the following by the closing date on 28 July 2024 to
- a short description of approx. 500 words of how your experience and qualifications to date have prepared you to undertake postgraduate research activities;
- an overview of approx. 1000 words of your PhD Proposal – including title, purpose, context, theory/concepts, justification/rationale, argument, methodology/methods, research question, aims, objectives and timescale; as well as a short bibliography of key sources (not included in the word count).
The length of contract is three years. You will be expected to work between Mondays-Wednesdays. Teaching will largely take place in two trimesters between September/October and May/June. Face-to-face will take place on Mondays and Tuesdays. Online teaching will take place on Wednesdays. This leaves you Thursday and Fridays to engage in postgrad studies.
We want you to be able to carry out your work in a way that best supports UON and our students, but also you as an individual. We understand this may vary between different areas of the university as well as from one person to another. With Smarter Working you can work with increased flexibility, if you would like to, which can facilitate greater freedom and autonomy.
About you
The successful candidate will have the passion to provide a significant contribution to our outstanding NSS scores through the education of our UON sociology students to the highest standards, based on advanced academic sociological knowledge and skill, and an experienced active blended workshop-based case study approach to teaching and learning.
You will join a team who deliver a diverse range of sociology modules around the areas of classical/contemporary sociological theory, education, identities/self, in/equalities and in/justice, crime, race/ethnicity, gender/sex/love/body, health/wellbeing, environment, media/culture, social change, the future, and death, as well as other sociological areas.
You will also be expected to be able to facilitate dissertation supervision in whatever viable potential topics our students want to pursue, and possibly other undergraduate/postgraduate sociological areas if/where required.
Other duties will include participation and engagement in personal academic tutoring, skills development, assessment, administrative tasks, quality assurance, induction, marketing/recruitment activities, school engagement, community outreach, module and programme development, programme/subject/faculty meetings, professional networking, continuing professional development, income generation, and any other duties normally expected from an individual of this level in respect of teaching, research, scholarship, and curriculum responsibility – including academic research as both a sociology lecturer and graduate student engaging in PhD studies.
Qualifications

- Undergraduate Degree - A good honours degree in Sociology or another related discipline
Desirable;
- Master's Degree – a good Master's degree in sociology or another related discipline
- Professional Recognition – a willingness and ability to work towards successfully achieving a HEA Fellow or teaching qualification recognised by HESA
Faculty
The Faculty of Health, Education and Society offers more than just a learning environment for students – the team is focused on improving the health and wellbeing of people living and working across Northamptonshire. Our research aims to address inequalities through innovative interdisciplinary research, education and enterprise to improve the whole population's health and wellbeing. We pride ourselves on our emphasis on participation and our inter-professional relationships. Our ability to draw on academic expertise from disciplines as diverse as psychology and sociology, as well as those more traditionally related to education and health/social care, means that we can consider real-world problems holistically.
About Us
Come to the University of Northampton and you will see that we do things a bit differently.
We are one of the youngest universities in the UK but we are already leading the way in adding value to society, which we call social impact. We have won multiple awards for our work in this area, among others, but what matters the most to us is ensuring that our students and graduates have the opportunity to make their mark on the world too. That's why we were the first university in the UK to be named as a Changemaker Campus in 2012.
We want to break the mould of what Higher Education can be. This has led us to build a whole new University from the ground up that is designed to reflect the way that students actually learn rather than the way they are expected to learn. Waterside Campus opened in September 2018.
Our commitment to transforming lives and inspiring change is at the heart of all that we do.
Right to Work
All candidates will be asked to provide proof of eligibility to work in the UK at interview. Due to the requirements laid out by UK Visas and Immigration regarding Right to Work in the UK, the University can only accept applications from individuals who currently have a status allowing them to work in the UK for this position. Due to this criteria we regret that we are unable to offer sponsorship at this time.
Equality
We welcome applications from underrepresented groups.
The University of Northampton is committed to providing a vibrant, ethical and sustainable work, study and living environment that values equality, diversity and inclusion.
This commitment, along with our legal and moral obligations, provides an inclusive environment for staff, students and the public who may be affected by our activities.
Together @ UON confirms our commitment to equality and inclusion, underpinned by our belief in taking action. We are dedicated to creating an environment that celebrates equality and harnesses the power of diversity.
Together @ UON demonstrates our pledge to our staff, students and partners to nurture and develop an environment where equality and inclusion can thrive whilst we Transform Lives and Inspire Change.
