Join to apply for the Project Chemist (Fixed Term) role at Cambridge Service Alliance

The Isaac Science project are looking for a chemist/biochemist who is passionate about teaching and widening participation at university to join the Isaac team. The role holder 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 and through a weekly programme of work and tutorials in our STEM SMART programme (https://www.undergraduate.study.cam.ac.uk/stem-smart) which will develop a deeper understanding of chemistry through problem solving.

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 4 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 experience of teaching at secondary to sixth form level (but need not necessarily have qualified teacher status or a PGCE). They will also ideally have taught students at university level and have detailed knowledge of 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 video packages such as Camtasia.

The role is full-time and the role holder will ideally be in post by the beginning of January 2026. We are open to job sharing for this role, for example, two people working 0.5 FTE. The length of the contract is to 31st January 2029 in the first instance with a potential extension (subject to funding).

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 at the beginning of the week commencing 1st September 2025.

Fixed-term: The funds for this post are available until 31 January 2029 in the first instance.

Once an offer of employment has been accepted, the successful candidate will be required to undergo an enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service check.
