We are looking for two Teaching Associates in the School of Mathematical Sciences to plan and deliver high-quality teaching and assessment for modules in at least one of the following areas: pure maths, applied maths, mathematical physics or statistics.

We believe that talented and inclusive teams deliver the highest quality teaching and student experience and are seeking applications from high quality people who enhance the diversity of our existing team. The School is committed to creating opportunities for people traditionally under-represented in Mathematical Sciences and strives to maintain an environment where people can be their authentic selves.

The University of Nottingham supports staff to develop their careers, including PGCHE modules and leadership training courses coordinated to support continuing professional development.

You will be able to carry out duties to the highest standard and to evidence how through your experience you will be able to:

• Plan and deliver high quality teaching on honours and service modules at undergraduate and master’s level.
• Innovate and develop our learning environment as part of the Mathematical Education & Scholarship Section.

We are looking for an organised team-worker who can evidence:

• A current, or soon to be completed, PhD in mathematics, statistics or related discipline.
• Experience and enthusiasm for teaching mathematics or statistics at undergraduate level.
• Excellent communication and presentation skills in English.
• A compassionate and student-centred approach.
• A commitment to high standards.
• An ability to work inclusively in a multidisciplinary and multicultural team.

These full-time (36.25 hours), fixed term positions are available from 01 September 2025 [or as soon as possible thereafter], until 31 August 2026. Job share arrangements may be considered. Requests for secondment from internal candidates may be considered on the basis that prior agreement has been sought from both your current line manager and the manager of your substantive post, if you are already undertaking a secondment role.

Many of our team have flexible working patterns so we’re open to discuss flexible working arrangements with you.

If it sounds like you would be a good fit, we look forward to hearing from you.
