We are seeking to recruit a team of full time Tutors to support the School of Mathematics’ portfolio of programmes and courses running in the academic year 2024-25.

The portfolio aims to educate students in mathematics and essential skills in critical thinking and data analysis, which are critical to employability for our graduates.

Typically, we require more tutors for our pre-Honours (year 1 and 2) courses, and so the role holder should expect to be involved in provision in those courses. We also have particular needs in courses in data science, programming, statistics and probability.

This post is full-time (35 hours per week) commencing in September 2024 and is fully campus based. Contract duration may vary between 3 and 12 months depending on the work which is available and on the preferences of the appointees.

A full list of courses can be found by following the following link:
