Academic Skills Advisor

Christ Church seeks to appoint three individuals to act as Academic Skills Advisors to the College’s undergraduate and taught graduate student body, forming an Academic Skills Support team under the supervision of the Academic Skills Coordinator and the Academic Registrar. 

They will be asked to provide up to 16 hours of academic skills sessions during term time (Weeks 0-9) to help Christ Church students to develop their academic skills. On occasion there may also be the opportunity to provide additional skills sessions during the vacations, subject to need and availability. They will be provided with specialist training. The support is not intended to replace tutorials or subject-specific advice, but rather to help students develop general academic skills such as time management, structuring of essays, managing stress, and planning revision. 

This post is an excellent opportunity intended to offer training and development to graduate students or postdoctoral researchers to develop experience of academic-related responsibility in a Higher Education setting and play a fulfilling role in a friendly college.
