Job description
The Isaac Science Project are looking for one or two chemists/biochemists who are passionate about teaching and widening participation at university to join the Isaac team. The role holder(s) will work as part of the Isaac team of physicists, mathematicians, chemist and biologist, to support students nationally in raising their attainment and applications to research intensive universities. This is to be achieved through the Isaac Science free online platform (https://isaacscience.org), which deepens students understanding of chemistry through problem solving, and through a weekly programme of work and tutorials in our STEM SMART programme (https://www.undergraduate.study.cam.ac.uk/stem-smart). As the Project Chemist, the role holder will be tasked with the production, quality assurance, and delivery of online and print resources. Some source materials will be provided as a starting point and catalyst. They will develop resources to cover core topics within the school Chemistry curriculum that are fundamental to future study in Chemistry from Key Stage 3 through to university, with direction from the Senior Project Chemist and the Assistant Director of Isaac Science. They will be required to deliver online tutorials to both large (~500) and small groups (10) of students as well as prepare and deliver in person lectures. It is essential that candidates have a degree in Chemistry or Biochemistry and have taught at secondary school and/or university level (but need not necessarily have qualified teacher status or a PGCE). Ideally they will also be familiar with the UK school curriculum and its content. It is vital that the role holder has an excellent eye for detail and accuracy but can also deliver to tight timescales and efficiently. Successful candidates will have excellent IT skills with significant experience of working with LaTeX, HTML, drawing packages such as Inkscape, and familiarity with video and sound editing software. A willingness to learn new tools and problem solve is vital for the role. The role is full-time and the role holder will ideally be in post by the beginning of January 2027. We are open to job sharing for this role, for example, two people working 0.5 FTE. Shortlisted candidates will be expected to complete a pre-interview task and an in person task on the day of their interview. Interviews are scheduled to take place on 8th September 2026. Limited funding: The funds for this post are available until 31 January 2029 in the first instance with a potential extension (subject to funding). Once an offer of employment has been accepted, the successful candidate will be required to undergo a Disclosure and Barring Service check (enhanced with childrens barred list). Please quote reference KA50387 on your application and in any correspondence about this vacancy. The University actively supports equality, diversity and inclusion and encourages applications from all sections of society. The University has a responsibility to ensure that all employees are eligible to live and work in the UK. J-18808-Ljbffr
