Subject: Various
Year: 1, 2 and 3
College: Exeter
Contact email address: garret.cotter@physics.ox.ac.uk

Exeter College proposes to appoint two 3-hour fixed-term Stipendiary Lecturers in Physics for the 2024/25 academic year (or one 6-hour Lecturer, if a suitable candidate is available). This position may be attractive to post-docs or D.Phil. students who enjoy teaching and would like a college association and to highlight teaching on their CV.
The Stipendiary Lecturers will, between them, give tutorials in:
• First year: CP1 (Mechanics and Relativity) and CP2 (Electromagnetism and Optics)
• Second year: A3 (Quantum Physics)
• Third Year: B4 (Nuclear and Particle Physics) and B5 (General Relativity)
In addition, the lecturer will be expected to set and mark College examinations, to participate in the administration of Physics in the College, and to assist in the pastoral care of undergraduates reading the subject. The lecturer may take a certain number of lunches and dinners free of charge during weeks 0 to 9 of each term. A research allowance is also offered, as well as access to a bookable teaching room.
The closing date for applications is 12pm noon (BST) on Tuesday 9 April 2024.

College: Oriel

Subject: Undergraduate laboratories demonstrating, various subjects. Please see the full advert for further details.
Year: 1 - 3
Contact email address: Jenny Barnes

Subject: Demonstrating
Department: Engineering Science
Contact email address: Dr Eleanor O'Hara
Details:
There are opportunities for demonstrating in the Electrical laboratory in the Department of Engineering Science. Throughout the course of the year each undergraduate constructs a simple electronic “musical box”. The musical box is based on a programmable microcontroller development board with peripheral circuits built by the students. In the course we build (including soldering) and test the peripheral circuits (using of signal generators and oscilloscopes) and use these as inputs and outputs for the programmed microcontroller development board. Each laboratory has have pre-written "C" code to be downloaded onto the microcontroller.

Some guided editing of the code will be required to complete the exercises. The emphasis will be on understanding how the microcontroller can be used. Demonstrators are expected to have experience of soldering in addition to general laboratory test & measurement techniques. Knowledge of the "C" programming language would be helpful.

Labs run 11:00 - 17:00, with an hour lunch break, each Monday and Tuesday. It is usual for demonstrators to be in the lab for the whole of a session they demonstrate on, but part days may be accommodated. Typically a demonstrator would expect to undertake two or more sessions in a term.

Before any demonstrating can be carried out, demonstrators will need to complete a right to work check in the Engineering Department. The department also has its own online demonstrator training course which will need to be completed.

If you are interested please contact Dr Eleanor O'Hara at the Department of Engineering Science
