About the role


A graduate teaching assistant role is an exciting opportunity for anyone interested in a research and teaching career to gain experience in both these areas simultaneously.

You would spend half your time in a teaching role, and the other half in a Postgraduate research role.

This is a full-time post, with 0.5 FTE paid for by the GTA role, and 0.5 FTE being a research degree opportunity with fees covered by us (International applicants will be considered but they will need to cover the difference between home and international fees).


Your role in teaching will be to support lecturers to deliver sessions, support students during practical sessions and workshops, and eventually help create and deliver sessions.

We have an extremely successful GTA programme, with our first two cohorts gaining lecturing posts or further research positions immediately.

We pride ourselves in coaching new, less experienced, aspiring academics to develop their skills, confidence and portfolio to ensure you can create, deliver and grow in your teaching career.


We have a range of technology, expertise and facilities which will be available for the post holder to use for research, training and support teaching in, including EEG, VR, eye tracking, and more.
