As a Tutor at the Economics & Business department of Erasmus University College, you will become part of a team of enthusiastic and highly motivated tutors and (senior) lecturers, who are responsible for the course Core Economics (Quad 2, 30/10-23/12). This course provides first-year students in the bachelor Liberal Arts & Sciences with the essentials of economic reasoning. The course adopts a small-scale, active learning environment. You will be assigned to guide two to four tutorial groups (number depending on your preferences and availability) of approximately twelve students each and will perform corrector duties regarding assessment work of this course under the supervision of the course coordinator. Besides this, we continuously strive to improve our courses; your input and contributions in this regard are much appreciated.

• You are currently enrolled in (or have just finished) a Master’s programme in (Business) Economics;
• You have demonstrable affinity with teaching;
• You have excellent communication skills and you are highly proficient in the English language;
• You look forward to working together in a close-knit team of tutors and (senior) lecturers and to becoming a proactive member of a stimulating academic community that is the hallmark of a university college.    

Tutors are required to be flexible with their working days, as the scheduling by EUC of all tutorials is dominant and by its nature quite inflexible. Weekly meetings for preparation, coordination and reflective purposes require your attendance as well.

The vacant position is part-time (0.3-0.5 fte), depending on the number of tutorial groups and for three months (start: October 2023). Depending on performance, availability, and interest, continuing as a tutor in another course (introductory statistics or mathematics) after this period is an option.
