About the role
A Graduate Teaching Assistant (GTA) role offers an excellent opportunity for individuals interested in combining teaching and research experience within an academic career pathway. The post is split equally between teaching responsibilities and postgraduate research activity, typically leading to an MSc by Research in Psychology.
This is a full-time commitment, comprising 0.5 FTE employed for teaching duties and 0.5 FTE dedicated to postgraduate research. The research component includes a funded degree, with home tuition fees covered by the institution. International applicants may be considered, although they would be required to cover the difference between home and international tuition fee rates. 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 a range of technology, expertise and facilities which will be available for the postholder to use for research, training and teaching purposes, including EEG, VR, eye tracking, and more.
How to apply
Applicants are invited to lead one of two projects as part of a postgraduate research degree (typically MSc; see attached). Applicants should indicate their preferred project(s) and include a section in their application outlining their interest and relevant experience in the chosen area.
Each applicant should submit two items:
- Their application form (a CV and cover letter are not required)
- A project proposal which aligns to one of the two projects attached to this post, this should be no longer than two sides of A4.
