[Academic] Departmental Teaching

[Robert Martin]

Dear All,

At the recent Departmental Committee meeting we discussed the provision 
of teaching by Research Staff. Many of you already contribute to the 
Department's teaching, through demonstrating, lecturing , project 
supervision, etc., and these contributions are very much appreciated. At 
this point in time we need to ask that all members of Research Staff 
provide between a minimum of 2 hrs/wk and a maximum of 4 hrs/wk of 
teaching unless their contracts explicitly forbid it. This is driven in 
part by rising student numbers and by reduced funds available to cover 
post-graduate student teaching but also by the need to provide the 
highest quality teaching and hopefully useful career development 
opportunities. There is urgency as the term is about to start and Nigel 
will be in contact shortly with an indication of the task he'd like you 
to take on. If you want to discuss any aspect of this please send an 
email to myself, copied to Nigel.

Thanks in advance for your support,

Regards,

Rob
