What you'll do

We are looking to appoint no more than 10 Senior Postgraduate Teaching Assistants (SPGTAs) in the department. In addition to normal PGTA activities, SPGTAs will also be able to assist with PGTA coordination and training and potentially take on more independent roles in teaching and learning support. The post holder will be invited to participate in improving PGTA experience in the department and help with the formation of a community of practice amongst departmental PGTAs to promote best practice.

About us

This role is only available for current UCL-affiliated PhD students.

About the role

SPGTA appointment will be at grade 6, starting on spine point 25.

About you

A suitable candidate should have already been appointed as a PGTA in the department for at least two academic years (candidates with less than 2 years of departmental PGTA experience may be exceptionally accepted provided that they have extensive prior relevant experience) and they should have experience with multiple aspects of teaching and learning support with demonstrated commitment to excellence in these activities. A suitable candidate should also be able to demonstrate in their application that they have adopted an evidence-based and reflective approach to supporting teaching and learning.

Hiring process

Please upload the following with your application:

  1. A CV highlighting your teaching and learning support experience and the area of expertise
  2. A personal statement no longer than 400 words in which you should expand on your knowledge, approach and reflections in supporting teaching and learning in higher education
  3. A letter of support from an activity lead in the department you have assisted as a PGTA

In their own words

About the company & team

The Department of Electronic and Electrical Engineering (EEE) at UCL was established by Professor Sir Ambrose Fleming, inventor of the thermionic valve and hence the founder of the discipline of electronics, in 1885 as the first department of electrical technology in England. That same pioneering tradition of innovation and excellence continues to underpin our work. We push in new directions across research, education and entrepreneurship, building on our long-established links with industry and benefitting from our loyal and supportive alumni community. We are committed to develop individuals and careers, across staff and students, developing and supporting our subject discipline.

Additional information

As London's Global University, we know diversity fosters creativity and innovation, and we want our community to represent the diversity of the world's talent. We are committed to equality of opportunity, to being fair and inclusive, and to being a place where we all belong.

We therefore particularly encourage applications from candidates who are likely to be underrepresented in UCL's workforce. These include people from Black, Asian and ethnic minority backgrounds; disabled people; LGBTQI+ people; and for our Grade 9 and 10 roles, women.

Our department holds an Athena SWAN Silver award, in recognition of our commitment to advancing gender equality.
