Bristol, Bristol, United Kingdom University of Bristol Full time

The role

The School of Physics are seeking to appoint a teaching technician to support the running of our undergraduate teaching laboratories. You will work within a small team of technicians to prepare for practical sessions, support the staff teaching the classes and advise students in the correct and safe use of equipment. As this is a teaching-focused role, the expectation is that all annual leave will be taken outside of teaching weeks. The role holder will work a minimum of 3.5 days per week during teaching weeks, with the option to work more hours during term-time in return for fewer outside term-time.

What will you be doing?

Working under the direction of senior technicians you will assist with the day-to-day running of the labs. This will include setting up for and clearing up after classes, repairing equipment for undergraduates, training students and demonstrators in the correct and safe use of apparatus (e.g. oscilloscopes, electronics, soldering irons, optical equipment) and recording student marks and monitoring their attendance and progress. As a regular point of contact for the undergraduate students in the laboratory, you will be able to spot potential problems and direct students in difficulty to appropriate sources of advice.

You should apply if

You are educated to A-level standard in a science-based discipline (or with equivalent experience), with hands-on experience of trouble-shooting electronics and training users in the safe use of equipment. You must be confident in upholding safety regulations and comfortable prioritising competing demands in a fast-paced environment. The ability to communicate effectively with academic staff, postgraduate demonstrators and undergraduate students and to signpost students to pastoral support is essential.
