The International Baccalaureate® (IB) is currently seeking to make the appointment of:

Chief Examiner for Computer Science

The IB DP computer science course requires an understanding of the fundamental concepts of computational thinking as well as knowledge of how computers and other digital devices operate.

The Chief examiner is principally responsible for setting and maintaining the academic standard for the subject and is involved in setting question papers, marking candidates’ work, and discussions relating to the determination of the final grades of candidates. The Chief examiner will be required to participate in face-to-face and online meetings.

The Chief examiner is also a member of the examining board for the IB.  This board ensures that the IB programmes as a whole are coherent and fit for purpose.

The Chief examiner may also be invited to participate in curriculum and assessment development alongside teachers, external consultants, and IB academic staff.  However, as the curriculum review for this subject will have been recently been completed, this will not be the focal point of the Chief examiner’s role.  

All essential and desirable skills, qualifications and experience are listed in the recruitment policy available on the IB senior recruitment pages.

The position is normally held for a period of five years, with an annual review.

The closing date for applications is Monday, 4^th November 2019

Successful applicants will be notified by the middle of March 2020.

Appointments will take effect from 1^st September 2020.

Enquiries should be directed to: examiners@ibo.org
