The role
We are looking to appoint an enthusiastic, highly motivated member of academic staff to join our new Department of Life Sciences at Aberystwyth University, to complement and enhance our existing strengths in learning and teaching (see https://www.aber.ac.uk/en/life-sciences/study-with-us/).
Both the University and the Department are committed to providing all students with the support that they need to succeed in their studies, irrespective of their route into university. In addition to contributing to teaching on existing and... future programmes, the successful applicant will provide leadership and focus to our work in supporting undergraduate students joining our degree schemes from traditional and non-traditional academic backgrounds to successfully navigate the transition to HE and fulfil their academic potential.
The post-holder will work closely alongside existing teaching teams, academic tutors, recruitment and student services teams to review existing practices and to lead on the development of a comprehensive package of resources and interventions to facilitate the successful progression of students into and through their first years at university. This will include working with incoming students to identify areas of academic strength and relative weakness, prior to arrival, using analytical approaches to monitoring engagement and progress, and working with students and staff to develop resources to overcome challenging subject areas, concepts and skills whilst promoting student well-being and self-regulation.
A key element of the role would be to undertake a detailed analysis of student progression and attainment in the context of a wide range of widening participation characteristics, and to work with academic and student services teams to design and implement activities, resources and other mitigations to address performance gaps.
The post holder would also be expected to make and nurture links with post-16 education institutions, and to use these to develop a detailed understanding of the structural and content differences in the qualifications that have the potential to impact the experiences and success of students during their transition to HE.
The successful candidate will have the opportunity to develop their own programme of scholarship activity and / or pedagogic research linked to the substantive purpose of the role, within the overall Department of Life Sciences and AU strategy, and would be expected to contribute to teaching and administration within the department as appropriate.
To promote a flexible workforce, the University will consider applications from individuals seeking full time, part time, job share, or term time only working arrangements.
To make an informal enquiry, please contact Professor Iain Barber, Head of the Department of Life Sciences, at iab11@aber.ac.uk.
Successful applicants will be subject to a satisfactory Disclosure and Barring Service Check (DBS) check.
Appointments are normally made within 4 - 8 weeks of the closing date.
What you’ll do
This job description is subject to review and amendment in the light of the changing needs of the University, to provide appropriate development opportunities and/or the addition of any other reasonable duties.
• Undertake an initial analysis of, and subsequently monitor and report on, the progression rates and performance of students that join our various degree schemes through a diverse range of academic routes, and from a wide range of backgrounds
• Develop and implement a range of pre-arrival tasks, video resources, screening tests and early engagement sessions to support the transition of students into HE

• Develop and nurture links with a range of schools and FE providers, both locally and UK-wide, to gain insights into the academic experience of incoming students, to identify areas for collaborative work and to stimulate effective recruitment activity through (e.g.) taster sessions and the development of resources
• Input into existing Departmental learning and teaching frameworks to ensure the visibility and integration of all activities and to promote uptake of recommended interventions
• Design and undertake focus group meetings with students entering HE from different academic backgrounds to develop better understanding of the challenges they face
• Undertake a detailed needs analysis looking at the content of A-level, BTEC, T-level and other entry qualifications in relation to expected knowledge for 1st year modules and work with module leaders to identify topics that are likely to be particularly challenging
• Develop resources and sessions that would support students to gain the knowledge, skills and behaviours they need to successfully engage with identified topics to promote success
• Liaise closely with academic tutors, the AU Student Services team and others where required to ensure the provision of appropriate support for students identified as being at risk of non-progression
• Work with the student recruitment team to undertake an analysis of student applications and conversion in the context of widening participation background and entry route
• Engage locally and nationally with similar post-holders to develop best practice and share this expertise at the annual Learning and Teaching conference.
• Make a substantial contribution to existing core Departmental degree scheme teaching, to include delivering lectures, practical classes, setting and marking assignments and supervising undergraduate research projects within your field of academic expertise.
• Undertake a programme of scholarship and / or pedagogic research related to student academic support and progression and to identify and apply for relevant funding opportunities to support this work.
• Undertake health and safety duties and responsibilities appropriate to the post.
• Be committed to the University’s Equal Opportunities and Diversity Policy, demonstrating an understanding of how it operates within the responsibilities of the post.
