Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
The successful candidate will contribute to the delivery of teaching on our Foundation Year (Level 3) modules in bioscience, primarily across chemistry, biology, foundation mathematics, communication, professional and study skills. The role will also include the supervision of student research projects within the biosciences.
Applicants should hold a good honours degree and a Master’s degree in Biological or Chemical Sciences, or a closely related bioscience discipline. Experience of teaching and/or supervising students in the further or higher education sector is essential, alongside a strong commitment to enhancing the student experience. A PhD (or equivalent qualification) in a relevant bioscience discipline is desirable but not essential.
This role would be particularly suitable for candidates currently working in further education in the UK in biosciences, applied sciences or related disciples who are seeking to transition into the higher education sector, gain experience of teaching in a university environment, or undertake a secondment to support their academic career development. It may also appeal to individuals seeking a part-time academic role alongside other professional or personal commitments.
Interested candidates are encouraged to contact Dr Mukhlesur Rahman, Subject Area Lead in the Department of Bioscience for any queries or informal discussion about this appointment, m.rahman@uel.ac.uk
