Paid and Unpaid Teaching Opportunities

As a post-graduate student with Menzies there are several opportunities for building a teaching portfolio for your curriculum vitae.

PhD students are frequently involved in co-supervision of Honours students working on their research projects, undergraduate students in third year Bachelor degree units (BMedRes, BBiotech, BSc) that involve a one semester research project (e.g. as part of CBA344 Research Project in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology), or UROP students. This is usually on an informal basis, but is nevertheless useful curriculum vitae material.

Some formal (paid) involvement in teaching opportunities also exist for post-graduate students in the form of tutoring and laboratory class demonstrating in second and third year undergraduate units (e.g. CBA260 Biochemistry: Metabolism and Nutrition, CBA265 Molecular Biology in Health and Disease, CHG100 Human Biology units). Background knowledge relevant to the units being taught is normally required, and there is a brief (half day) training course offered by School of Medicine staff in mid-February covering tutoring techniques.
