• Contributing to enhancing and improving the course management, student wellbeing and satisfaction, the teaching syllabus and related research activities.
• Setting assessments, marking student work, and reporting on students' progress, as well as providing timely feedback.
• Contributing to School research activities by publishing high-quality outputs in an appropriate specialist area, applying for funding, and undertaking knowledge transfer projects.
