A basic course outline and some lecture materials are available to the successful applicant to draw on in developing their own course.

Additional duties will the be the setting and marking of a class test at the end of the teaching period, as well as setting and marking both theory and practical exam questions. Exams will take place during November. Remuneration will be according to qualifications and experience.

Interested applicants are asked to send their CV and academic records or address any questions to Prof. Nigel Barker (n.barker at ru.ac.za<mailto:n.barker at ru.ac.za>). DEADLINE for applications: April 26th 2013
