Throughout their Ph.D., research students have the opportunity to do paid demonstrating work in undergraduate labs at the Observatory. In addition, the expansion of the first year undergraduate course and increase in student numbers generally means that there is also the opportunity to teach in undergraduate tutorials, supervise computer labs and help supervise undergraduate experiments with the University telescope.
The integration with Physics also gives students the opportunity to demonstrate in the undergraduate Physics labs. Details are distributed at the start of each academic year. Regardless of whether you take tutorials or demonstrate in labs, it is very worthwhile to attend a one-day course run for postgraduates who will be involved in teaching - Liz Gibson can arrange this for you.
