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. 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.

To be considered for this role, you must hold a Ph.D. in human sleep research, or a closely related human research field. You must also have an aptitude for and experience of teaching and sufficient depth and breadth of knowledge in the subject to develop and teach course materials. It is desirable for the post holder to have experience of online teaching and experience of student examinations.

This post is full time and fixed term till  31st October 2026 in the first instance.

Only applications received before midday 12:00 on Monday 15th January 2024 will be considered. 

Interviews will be held as soon as possible thereafter.
