The Maths Skills Centre is recruiting Graduate Teaching Assistants to run online maths and statistics appointments.
They welcome applications from PhD research students working across all disciplines who have:
- A good first degree in a subject with a large mathematical or statistical content
- A good grounding in first-year undergraduate Mathematics and/or Probability and Statistical Theory
- The ability to encourage and develop understanding through alternative approaches to problem solving
- The ability to direct students how to use the Centre’s resources
- A good level of digital literacy – for statistics role, knowledge of Statistical software- e.g. SPSS or R
Tutors are not expected to be experts in all aspects of Maths or Statistics. Students often find it more helpful to talk through their initial approach to a problem or to be guided towards suitable resources on the initial steps towards a solution, rather than to be offered a complete worked solution.
Application deadline: Monday 25 January 2021
