Teaching Associate in Bristol Medical School

The role

Two Teaching Associate posts are available in Bristol Medical School. The role contributes to the delivery, development, and assessment of campus-based teaching (and teaching-related activities) for Years 1 and 2 of the MBChB medical undergraduate programme. Alongside the delivery of teaching the role holder will contribute to the ongoing design of the programme, using innovative methods and may be involved in pedagogy. These posts offer the opportunity for individuals to extend their clinical training to focus on the development of skills in medical education.

An important aspect of the job is to enthusiastically illustrate the concepts, relevance and application of the biomedical sciences and medical humanities to medical students, drawing on the role holder's recent professional experience, either in research or clinical, together with relevant teaching experience.

What will you be doing?

The role holder will contribute to the planning and delivery of teaching. Teaching may include small and large group tutorials, workshops, practical classes and clinical skills teaching. In addition, the role holder will act as a case-base facilitator. Online teaching may be delivered alongside face-to-face teaching.
