Senior Teaching Fellow (Assessment and Feedback)

An exciting opportunity to support the transformation of assessment practice at the University of Southampton.  

About the role 

We have begun work on a Strategic Major Project (SMP) called Advancing Assessment that aims to develop assessment practice and technology across the university. The project will look at every aspect of assessment over the next 4 years, building on existing practice. Through co-design we aim to engage staff and students in developing robust, valid and exciting assessment. 

We are looking for an experienced educator with expertise in STEM-based assessment practice including experience of robust online assessment strategies to join our assessment consultancy team in the University’s Centre for Higher Education Practice (CHEP).   

This is an exciting opportunity to use your knowledge and expertise of  STEM and quantitative based assessment practice to enhance provision and academic professional development for staff.  The role will contribute to the adoption of new approaches and digital assessment practices including Generative AI.
