An exciting opportunity has arisen to join our teaching and learning team in the Department of Statistics at the University of Warwick, building teaching experience within a vibrant teaching and research environment.

As a Tutor, you will have a leading involvement in delivering problem classes, tutorials and computer practicals and grading assignments for undergraduate students. You will also contribute to a range of other teaching and learning activities, possibly including personal tutoring, outreach, and open days. Up to 20% of your time will be allocated to personal professional development, for example to pursue a research programme in Statistics or a related discipline or for ongoing professional development of your pedagogical skills and knowledge.

Successful candidates will be highly motivated, with a good honour's degree in a relevant subject and a sound understanding of Statistics and Mathematics at first- and second-year University level. Ability to teach the use of relevant software packages and programming languages is desirable. You will be enthusiastic and committed to delivering a high-quality learning experience.
