What are the responsibilities and job description for the Community Engagement Student Assistant position at Morgridge Institute for Research?
Description
Community engagement at the Morgridge Institute is linked with our mission to spark scientific curiosity and to serve society in partnership with UW-Madison. For us, “community” includes students, teachers, researchers, and the general public…and that means that our work isn’t limited to a laboratory:
Duties Include
Duties include assisting in all aspects of our programming, such as setting up the teaching labs in preparation for field trips, teaching field trips and coordinating classroom management, traveling off-site and teaching during afterschool programs (especially Mondays between 2:00-5:00pm), assisting with lab management, and staying overnight in campus dorms to supervise the Summer Science Camp for about three weeks during the summer. These positions will be taking place in-person. Weekend and evening hours may be required. Daytime on-site weekday availability is required. This position will also collaborate with the Wisconsin Science Festival and Science Expeditions. Relevant experience is a plus, but not required, and training will be provided.
Requirements
Candidate must be a UW-Madison student. The ideal candidate will have experience with science communication, public speaking, teaching, or research. Must demonstrate great attention to detail, be able to work with minimal supervision, and conduct oneself in a professional manner.
Requirements for the position include the ability to handle multiple tasks while prioritizing and meeting deadlines, effective oral and written communication skills and strong customer service skills are a plus. This candidate should be able to effectively work in-person at the Discovery Building, on-campus, and off-campus in the Madison metropolitan area. We are seeking individuals who are committed to working a minimum of 10-15 hours per week during the school semesters with possibly more hours available, such as during the summer.
In order to ensure the safety of our workplace, proof of COVID-19 vaccination is required unless an exemption is granted for medical, disability or religious reasons.
