Course Tutor in Sleep Medicine

The Nuffield Department of Clinical Neurosciences is seeking to appoint a
Course Tutor to support the delivery of The University of Oxford Online
Programme in Sleep Medicine. This is a post-graduate programme that runs
almost entirely online. Students will be working towards either a Post-
graduate Diploma or a Master’s qualification. In addition, students may also
take individual modules for continuing professional development and several
training courses are also offered. The programme aims to provide a broad
coverage of sleep medicine, ranging from the basic neuroscience of sleep and
circadian rhythms to clinical intervention for sleep disorders. The programme
is delivered online, with lectures pre-recorded for students to watch in their
own time. Lectures are supplemented by live online group discussions, where
students come together using web conferencing software to interact with one
another and teaching staff.





The programme is made up of 8 topic modules and 2 research modules. The
candidate will be responsible for implementing a review of course material.
The candidate will co-ordinate and contribute to the update of lectures. The
candidate will interact with leaders in sleep medicine. The candidate will
contribute to teaching on topic modules relevant to their own expertise.
Delivering the weekly discussion groups involves setting class assignments,
marking, and feeding-back to students about their performance. The candidate
will be responsible for implementing new digital learning technologies into
all aspects of the live and recorded teaching practices. The candidate will be
expected to support the summative examination and marking process, the
admissions process and attend relevant committee meetings. The candidate will
also lead the implementation of Sleep Medicine training courses.





It is essential that you have a degree in psychology, neuroscience, medicine
or related discipline, hold a Ph.D. in human sleep research, or a closely
related human research field and have an aptitude for and experience of
teaching. It is desirable that you have experience of student examinations,
student supervision at post-graduate level and experience of working in
clinical sleep medicine or clinical research.
