We are seeking a dynamic and experienced Education & Technology Fellow to deliver engaging, cutting-edge online and face-to-face training in Python programming, data science, and machine learning for researchers in health and biosciences. The ideal candidate will demonstrate strong technical skills, a biological and/or medical background, exceptional teaching skills, and the ability to inspire our students.
About us
Big Brain Innovations Ltd. (BBI Ltd.) is an enterprise developed at University College London (UCL), now operating as an independent company, creating and delivering advanced training materials for the professional technical development of bioscience, healthcare, and medicine researchers and allied professionals. BBI Ltd. was formed by members of the UCL Department of Cell & Developmental Biology, who led the development of the UKRI-MRC/BBSRC-funded, award-winning and acclaimed Learn to Discover (L2D) course and learning platform for professional education in data science, machine learning, and AI. The course aims to further research, discovery, and innovation by providing targeted, life science-oriented training in computational methods and techniques used for handling and analyzing real-world biological and medical data. BBI Ltd. is the exclusive licensed provider of L2D training across the UK and around the world, and now seeks to grow and develop both the business and the advanced education services it provides.
About the role
We are looking for a motivated and qualified individual to join our enthusiastic and committed team in an international learning environment.
Principal duties of the post include, but are not limited to:
1. Contributing to the creation, revision, and maintenance of first-class course materials.
2. Both face-to-face and online teaching according to our course schedules.
3. Handling student queries via online forums, email, virtual 1-2-1 meetings, or face-to-face.
4. Participation in strategic and operational decision-making and planning.
About you
The post is suitable for a confident, computationally/technically able, and creative individual with experience of, or demonstrably strong interest in, life sciences. You will also have experience of open-ended research or development projects.
What we offer
Experience:
1. Working with a small, highly dynamic and dedicated team.
2. An interdisciplinary role, with a unique opportunity to combine and synergize academic and creative skills.
3. Experience working in an innovative, learning-focused start-up company with an excellent prior track record, associated with UCL, a globally highly-respected university.
4. Contributing to a unique, cutting-edge, award-winning course, empowering specialized bioscientists and medics with skills in analyzing large high-throughput scientific datasets and supercharging their discovery and innovation.
Some of the partners currently involved in our projects are:
* Royal Microscopical Society
* Royal College of Physicians
* Royal Society of Biology
* Laboratory for Molecular Cell Biology at UCL
Our clients include:
* Course participants from UK, EU, and international universities, from master's students to Professors.
* Participants from global bio-industry including Unilever, Astrazeneca, Abzena, GSK, InsituGen, MeiraGTx, Pharmaron, Phoremost, and Aparito.
* Clinical Professionals.
Benefitting the world:
For the last 40 years, the pace of change in the application of quantitative and computational approaches to bio- and health sciences discovery and innovation shows no sign of slowing. In fact, recently, the pace continues to accelerate exponentially, and the existing skills and experience of professional researchers can be rapidly outpaced and outdated. There is no time to stand still. Through innovations in advanced training and education, L2D aims to supercharge innovation and discovery in an increasingly data-driven world.
As well as the exciting opportunities this role presents, we also offer some great benefits, some of which are below:
* 41 days of holiday (27 days annual leave, 8 bank holidays, and 6 closure days).
