Associate Tutor - Essential Maths & Data Analysis

Birkbeck, University of London, has an excellent opportunity for an Associate Tutor to join Birkbeck's Business School and support the team this coming academic year 2025/26. 

As Associate Tutor you would support the module:

• Essential Maths and Data Analysis, BUEM112S3
• 54 hours
• Autumn term: Wednesday 2-5pm, 9 weeks teaching, & Spring: Wednesday 2-5pm, 9 weeks teaching.

This post offers the opportunity to contribute to an engaging undergraduate module in Birkbeck Business School at Birkbeck, University of London. Essential Maths and Data Analysis is a compulsory Foundation Year module for students enrolled on our foundation year degree programmes.

The module provides a broad introduction to mathematics and statistics for students in the Birkbeck Business School, offering students foundational knowledge, key concepts, and applications.

Topics include numbers and reporting accuracy; working with percentages; basic algebra; equations and linear functions; quadratic equations; systems of linear equations; logarithms and exponents; descriptive statistics; and applications in Excel. The content draws upon academic literature and real-world examples to support critical engagement and practical understanding.

The appointed individual should possess sound knowledge of maths and statistics for economics and business, and a commitment to student learning and academic development.

The module is delivered through a combination of pre-recorded lectures made available online and weekly in-person classes. The pre-recorded lectures and reading materials are already in place; while there is scope to revise and enrich them, this is not a requirement.

The primary responsibility of the postholder will be to lead the weekly in-person sessions, which are designed to be interactive rather than lecture-based, incorporating exercises and problem solving. The role also involves the marking of assignments.

The Module Convenor, named in this advertisement as the key contact, will oversee the modules and provide ongoing support to the person appointed.

This is your chance to be part of a dynamic School at Birkbeck, situated in the heart of London's historic Bloomsbury area, so apply with us today.
