Cambridge Institute for Technology and Humanity

The Centre for the Study of Existential Risk (CSER), within the Institute for Technology & Humanity (ITH), seeks to appoint a Teaching Associate to support the new MPhil in Global Risk and Resilience

The MPhil in Global Risk and Resilience is a one-year taught Master's course, designed to provide students with a thorough grounding in the study of Global Risks, their management and mitigation and relevant Resilience approaches. The programme covers areas such as AI, Geopolitics and Nuclear Risks, Pandemics and Health Security, and Disaster Risk Studies. It draws on a variety of relevant disciplines such as Geography, Science and Technology Studies, Environmental Sciences, International Relations, Philosophy, and more. The role holder will work closely with the Course Directors and Postgraduate Coordinator to support all academic aspects of course delivery.

This role would suit someone interested in increasing their teaching experience, shaping a new postgraduate course, teaching and supervising broadly across multiple disciplines and methodologies relevant to global risks, and developing their own interests related to reducing global catastrophic risk.

Applicants are welcome from PhD-holders with a track record of interdisciplinary teaching, excellent communication skills and the potential to contribute to CSER's research output.
