For both candidates, additional responsibilities include office hours, pastoral duties, dissertation supervision at UG and MA level and the marking of student formative and summative assessments as appropriate.
As this is a research-led department, preference will be given to candidates who show the potential for international reputation in research and publication. Bristol University will also be the host of the 2014 European Human Behaviour & Evolution Association Conference, so there is a chance to become involved in its organisation.
