RESEARCH ASSOCIATES (2FTE , 18 MONTHS)
In December 2006, the ExPERT Centre in the Faculty of Science at the
University of Portsmouth opened to great acclaim. The technologically
advanced, Centre for Excellence in Teaching and Learning, provides a
rich environment for learning and for pedagogic research . The ExPERT
Centre aims to provide support for staff to develop an
interprofessional, multi-dimensional, approach to teaching and to
undertake pedagogic research that will contribute to the knowledge base
for teaching and learning in Higher Education.
The Centre has already generated a wealth of data and these posts are
available for two individuals who wish to contribute to its evaluation
and dissemination. Working directly with the Centre director and the
research groups in Simulation and Technology-enhanced learning, the
successful candidates will become an integral part of a burgeoning
research team.
In addition to a good standard of written and oral English, the
successful candidate will have a higher degree, good experience of
research methods (especially qualitative data analysis), be
self-motivated and able to work with little direct supervision.
These posts will contribute to the overall success of the ExPERT
Centre in achieving its aims. We are seeking individuals with enthusiasm
and a positive, team approach. The successful candidate will be be
encouraged to take the opportunity for professional development and will
be expected to contribute generally to the activities of the Centre.
The posts are offered on a full-time basis (37 hours per week) for a
period of 18 months. Additional hours may be required during particular
promotional events and at peak periods, for which time off in lieu will
be given. The ExPERT Centre is a high profile activity and the
successful candidates will be an integral part of the team.
