Detail information about job Panel Tutor: Curriculum Design Specialist in Engineering. Terms and conditions vacancy
Madingley HallMadingleyCambridgeCB23 8AQReception: 01223 746222Web: www.ice.cam.ac.uk
The University of Cambridge Institute of Continuing Education (ICE), based at Madingley Hall near Cambridge, offers a vibrant and diverse array of courses for adult part-time students studying for personal enrichment or professional development. Courses range from open-access Certificate courses to Master of Studies programmes.
We are currently looking to engage a specialist in the field of Engineering (Chemical, Civil, Electrical and Mechanical) to design suitable ‘current topics’ course components which would form elements of a new award-bearing FHEQ level 6 course primarily for international students. The specialist will also assist in developing the broader curriculum for the new course.
The successful candidate will be a PhD qualified professional in Engineering with extensive experience of curriculum development and undergraduate teaching in established UK university settings. They will have a comprehensive understanding of instructional design and assessment within the QAA framework. Preferably, they will have a postgraduate teaching qualification and experience of working with international students.
The successful candidate will work alongside a design specialist in Business Management and collaboratively with ICE academics and the University of Cambridge’s Department of Engineering and Judge Business School to design the respective components of the course.
Most of the syllabus development work can be undertaken away from Cambridge although a physical presence in Cambridge will be required for key team meetings (approximately three) during the curriculum development phase. The curriculum development projects will be undertaken within a three-month period, starting in September 2017.
It is anticipated that the project will equate to around 50 working hours; the project may be delivered by a single Tutor or shared amongst a small group of Tutors with complimentary expertise. Payment will be made at ICE’s competitive Panel Tutor hourly rate. Reasonable travel and subsistence expenses will also be reimbursed.
Informal enquiries may be addressed to Dr Nigel Kettley: [email protected]
To apply, in the first instance please submit your professional CV (with names and details of two referees) and a supporting statement of no more than 400 words outlining your interest in this opportunity, and clearly specifying whether your interest is in the Business Management or Engineering project, to: [email protected]
The final closing date for applications is Sunday 10 September 2017. However, applications will be reviewed upon submission and we reserve the right to close this vacancy early if suitable applicants are identified. Consequently, we recommend that you submit your application well in advance of the closing date and as soon as possible during the recruitment process.
