Teaching activities
Teaching includes, tutoring, informal mentoring, lab supervision, supervision of students on projects and the updating and design of course notes and materials.
- The researcher will not undertake the same level of responsibility as a fulltime academic staff member and will not be responsible for a full programme and/or module.
- In the event that a researcher is allocated lecturing, tutoring or lab supervision duties, hours spent on pre and post teaching activities count towards the 50 hours ceiling.
- The activity can be undertaken at any time of the year (i.e. outside of term), for example, tutorials for repeat examinations in the summer etc.
- Teaching activities are considered to be part of the role of the Researcher and no additional remuneration applies.
- Teaching activities are allocated by the relevant Head of School.
