We are seeking a Senior Teaching Associate in the field of Computational Continuum Modelling and High Performance Computing in the Department of Physics. This post is to support the expansion of the cohort size of the MPhil in Scientific Computing

You will have a proven track record of delivering lectures or computational practical classes, and be an excellent communicator. You must be highly organised and motivated and should demonstrate aptitude for programme coordination. You will hold, or be imminently completing, a PhD in mathematics or physics (or a cognate discipline). Due to the fast-moving nature of the topics covered in the MPhil, you would be expected to participate in the research activities of the research group associated with the programme (Laboratory for Scientific Computing), to maintain your knowledge of the current status of research, and techniques used within them.

You will support the MPhil primarily by: the creation and delivery of course modules; the supervision, assessment and examination of modules, the provision, supervision and assessment of written assignments and research projects across a range of continuum and HPC topics. You will also participate in the administration of tasks associated with the academic delivery of these programmes like overseeing the seminar series and industry led modules, and the coordination and delivery of non-examined short courses on advanced topics or transferable skills.

This post falls within the new Academic Career Pathway scheme for Teaching and Scholarship, further details are available at

Shortlisted applicants will be invited to visit Cambridge in May 2024 to give a teaching presentation, for informal discussions and formal interview.
