Requirements：

All position requires relevant educational background as well as English communication skills. Detailed requirements are as below:

•Introductory Programming:

Several TAs are required to conduct the lab sessions of introductory programming course covering C programming language.

The main responsibilities of TAs will include:

a)Assess the code written by students for each lab exercise

b)Provide feedback in English back to students to identify areas of improvement

c)If needed, help debug and troubleshoot the code written by students

d)Learn the Codegrade automatic grading platform

e)Use Moodle to communicate with students and answer their queries

f)Use the Codegrade platform to check the student code and assist in grading

We are looking for candidates who have:

a)Experience of working in C programming language that can be demonstrated

b)Evidence of good written and spoken English skills

c)Out of the box thinking to solve problems.

d)Ability to contextualise the programming exercises with the concepts introduced in the lectures.

•Circuits Analysis and Design:

The candidate must have good knowledge of circuit analysis (Ohm's and Kirchhoff's laws, DC and AC circuit analysis and calculation of bias points, impedances and simple circuits such as filters and operational amplifiers) as well as experience with use of practical laboratory equipment (breadboard circuits, oscilloscopes and waveform generators) and circuit simulation software such as PSpice or similar.

•Electronic Device：

The candidate must have a strong understanding of basic electronic devices such as PN junction diodes, BJTs and FETs. The GTA must also be able to lead simple semiconductor experiments using PSpice or Cadence. Moreover, the labs will be conducted in English. Therefore, a candidate with confident English communication skills is required.

•Electronic System Design:

GTA will be asked to support the lab sessions for this course (4 GTAs to cover the labs), which means preparation, delivery and marking of lab sessions. I would like GTAs from the school of electronics specialized in analogue electronics with a strong sense of professionalism, with good practical skills (used to work with lab equipment: oscilloscopes, signal generators, multimeter…) and good understanding of operational amplifier circuits. The lab sessions will be delivered in English and the lab reports will be in English so good English skills spoken and written required. CET6 minimum and IELTS 6.0 or above if possible.

•Communication Principles and Systems:

a)Experience with Matlab and its functionalities, i.e., mathematical analysis, elementary programming, simulations;

b)Understanding the basics of communications engineering, i.e., signals, systems, Fourier, probabilities, analogue modulation, digital modulation, demodulation;

c)Ability to manage and control a lab session, i.e., run session in an orderly manner, proper attendance monitoring;

d)Collaborative approach and team work skills, i.e., working efficiently with the course coordinator, with other GTAs;

e)Good professional standards in delivering such task, i.e., the course coordinator anticipates the GTAs to be well prepared and have an idea of what the lab session is about.

•Digital Circuit Design:

GTAs are needed for 4 labs covering Digital Circuit Design from logic gates to Hardware Description Language simulations.

Essential knowledge:

a)Logic gates and combination logic circuits

b)Basics of digital circuit design process

c)Basics of Hardware Description Languages, especially VHDL Preferable:

d)Knowledge of Xillinx Vivado

•Machine Learning and AI:

Machine Learning (ML) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a third-year course taught at Glasgow College UESTC, which mainly covers heuristic optimization and machine learning knowledge and implementing these fundamental techniques through computer programmes. Several GTAs are required in this course who will conduct laboratory sessions, assist students in lab and their group projects, evaluate students' lab work, and provide feedback.

GTAs are expected to:

a)have a fundamental knowledge of machine learning and heuristic optimization;

b)possess good knowledge of programming and experience with working in MATLAB and/or Python (e.g., some term project or internship);

c)have experience in debugging and troubleshooting MATLAB and/or Python programs; and

d)have good communication and demonstration skills.

In addition, the GTAs are also preferred to have:

e)experience in using the UofG learning platform Moodle,

f)an ability to link the assignments with the concepts introduced in the lectures.

Please send a CV(better with a cover letter)in English to the course instructor(s) respectively below with the course title that you are applying for the GTA position, the application closing date is 15 July 2024

* Important: If you apply for the Hainan GTA position, please name your CV document as “Hainan GTA_course_your name”
