Technician and Teaching Assistant at Bradford
2007-2011
During my PhD I assisted in many archaeometallurgy practical workshops, for undergraduate or masters students undertaking the archaeometallurgy module. I was also required to prepare the samples before the sessions, and assisted in setting up and cleaning away the microscopes. In 2010-2011 I was responsible for the metallurgy laboratory, and for the masters or undergraduate student present. In this year I taught students how to use the equipment correctly and safely.
I have also demonstrated for many group tours of the Bradford department and have explained what goes on in an archaeometallurgy lab to all sorts of people from undergraduates, to the general public to school children. During science week I ran one of the ‘Science of the Past’ workshops aimed at A-level students.
