[Melanie Taylor]

Dear All,

We hope this email finds you well. It's that time of year again where we are looking for people to help support the departmental teaching. This is an important role and your input can make a huge difference to the learning experience that our students have.

Generally tutorial support is 20 hours of teaching and 20 hours of preparation per 20 credit module. Note that in years 1 - 3 the modules run over both semesters so support would be 10 hours + 10 hours per semester (please indicate one or both semesters), whereas in Y4 & Y5 the modules only run in a single semester. Computational/skills modules may have different requirements. Experimental labs are

Y1: 9am - 12pm or 2.00pm - 5.00pm on Mondays
Y2: 1pm - 5pm on Tuesdays or 9.00am - 1.00pm on Wednesdays
Y3: 1pm - 5pm on Thursdays or 9.00am - 1.00pm on Fridays

Information about individual modules can be found here: https://but.mis.strath.ac.uk/modulecatalogue/#/  and the provisional timetable for next semester can be found here: https://cts.strath.ac.uk/Scientia/live2324sws/default.aspx?context=modules

The current rates of pay are:

Tutorial work        £17.20 per hour
Demonstrating     £14.11 per hour
Training                  £14.11 per hour (10 hours) - please note that you do not have to re-do the training if you have done it before

There is no limit to the number of modules that you can apply to work on, but it is important to note that you will be required to undertake compulsory training before starting in a support role if you have not already done so. This will take around 10 hours and will be paid. Details are attached.

If you are interested in working as a support tutor for any of the above modules, please complete this online form https://forms.office.com/e/UiPwpPXnrd by 5pm on Friday 1st September to let us know which modules you are interested in and to give us a brief explanation of your suitability for the module and any relevant skills you possess.

We look forward to hearing from you.

Best wishes,
Melanie
