Come along this information and recruitment event for 'Researchers in Schools' and The Brilliant Club 'The Scholars Programme.'

Researchers in Schools

Teach, Research and Make a Difference with Researchers in Schools

The Researchers in Schools programme is the world’s only fully-salaried route into teaching tailored exclusively to PhD researchers. We’re looking for candidates with outstanding interpersonal skills and a desire to improve the educational prospects of pupils across the country to train to become classroom teachers. As a subject leader within your school, you’ll help support pupils, regardless of background, to excel and progress to higher education.

Drop by our presentation and find out more about what a career in teaching can offer you and how our programme is specifically designed for doctoral researchers. We can also tell you about the many benefits the programme can offer you, including:

The generous salary and salary uplift scheme, supported by the Department for Education
One day per week to focus on research, increasing subject specialism and promoting university access
The honorary academic status awarded from a research-intensive university

The Scholars Programme

The Brilliant Club allows PhD students to gain paid teaching experience in the classroom, whilst disseminating their chosen area of research to young people. The Scholars Programme employs doctoral and post-doctoral researchers on a part-time basis to deliver programmes of academic enrichment to small groups of pupils. Through a combination of university trips, in-school tutorials and online resources, we support pupils aged 10-18 to develop the knowledge, skills and ambition needed to progress to highly-selective universities.

You will be able to support talented pupils from under-represented backgrounds through the guidance provided from former teachers and subject experts. They will help you to carefully design your course and make it both challenging and accessible for your tutorial group.
