Duties include the administration, organization and management of the course, but also teaching students, including running lectures and practicals, designing and marking coursework assignments and exams, and supervising research projects. As this field is evolving fast, the post is also required to perform research tasks to be updated with latest techniques, so that course materials can be most up-to-date.
