Course Tutor - Novel Clinical Trial Design in Translational Medicine

Applying to be a Course Tutor for an online short course in Novel Clinical Trial Design in Translational Medicine

Cambridge University Press & Assessment and the University of Cambridge are now calling for Expressions of Interest (EOI) for online course tutoring under their new partnership, Cambridge Advance Online. We are seeking subject matter expertise in the disciplinary areas of Novel Clinical Trial Design in Translational Medicine.

The remuneration for delivering one 8-week course run of Novel Clinical Trial Design in Translational Medicine course is £4,000.00. The course will run four times a year.

The time commitment is approximately 10 hours per week supporting a cohort of up to 30 students.

This however very much depends on the size of the cohort and is expected to reduce over time as tutors deliver more frequently.

Key responsibilities

• Manage a cohort of up to 30 online participants (external and internal participants).
• On-board participants.
• Manage group discussions.
• Moderate live sessions run by the Academic Lead.
• Lead live sessions (up to five sessions per course run).
• Monitor participation and progress of participants.
• Provide marking and feedback to participants within two weeks of the course end date.

Further details can be found here.

There is also an informative, compulsory three-week online training course to attend prior to the course delivery covering all aspects of the Cambridge Advance Online courses and technology. The training is self-paced with only one live session in week 3 and will take about 10-12 hours in total to complete.

Please submit your expression of interest letter (maximum two pages) and CV to advanceonlinetutors@cambridge.org by 23.59 (UK Time) on Friday 10th June 2022.

Selection Criteria

Consideration will be given to the following:

• Demonstrated subject matter expertise
• Postdocs or lecturers
• Demonstrated flexibility and ability to adapt to different teaching modes

In order to be considered you must:

• Hold a minimum of a postgraduate degree, in an area relevant to the discipline in which you seek to tutor (or significant equivalent professional experience)
• Have experience in delivering experimental medicine studies or clinical trials
• Have relatively recent experience with the course material or a demonstrated capacity to become familiar with the material in a short time frame
• Be approachable, and provide proactive, clear, helpful advice and feedback.
