Postgraduate Teaching Assistant

The Bartlett School of Environment, Energy and Resources (BSEER) is recruiting a cohort of Postgraduate Teaching Assistants (PGTAs) to support education across the department for the academic year 2026-27.

BSEER is set within The Bartlett Faculty of the Built Environment , which has been continually ranked #1 in the world in the QS World University Rankings by Subject (Architecture and Built Environment) . As of 2026, we remain global #1 for the fourth year in a row and #1 in the UK for the twelfth year in a row.

The purpose of this role is to support and work with the academic leads on small group teaching and learning across our programmes in our four Institutes; UCL Energy Institute , UCL Institute for Environmental Design and Engineering , UCL Institute for Sustainable Heritage , and UCL Institute for Sustainable Resources .

Main duties of PGTAs are:

tutorial class teaching

regular meetings with the module lead/lecturers

provision of feedback to students

provision of weekly office hours

attendance reporting

coursework assessment

examination marking

PGTAs will be given training and ongoing support to assist them in their roles.

Please note this is primarily intended as an internal opportunity - only if there is no suitable PhD student at UCL identified would external applications from students at other universities be accepted and considered.

In the event we receive a high number of applications, we may close the vacancy ahead of the published closing date. As a minimum we will keep all adverts open for 2 weeks. Early application submission is therefore recommended.

To be eligible for PGTA work, you must be registered as a current PhD student, either full or part time.

A document outlining all the available vacancies is attached; as part of your application, you will be asked to specify which roles you would like to be considered for.

Please complete the online application form summarising your relevant technical/specialist skills and any previous teaching experience, relating to the specific modules you would like to be considered for.

If you have any queries about the role or about the application process, or, if you need any reasonable adjustments to assist you in your application, please contact the BSEER HR Team at [email protected] .
