ABOUT US:
Professor Egghead Science Academy is a place where we do science. We get our hands messy, we build, mix, experiment, and we learn. We provide simple, real world explanations… which translates to real learning. Our mission is to bring science to everyone. That’s represented through our motto:
Make Science Accessible, Understandable, and Cool
Everyone can be a scientist. Your home is your laboratory, your school is your laboratory, and so is the beach, your backyard, and even your bedroom.
The key to our specialized curriculum is that it’s designed to engage kids in a short period of time while still leaving them with a concrete understanding of important scientific and engineering concepts and ideas. In this fast-paced world of high-speed everything, we value high quality in-person interactions to produce a new generation of thinkers and a community engaged with science.
WHAT WE DO:
Love working with kids and having a blast? Professor Egghead Science Academy is an awesome after school program that makes science accessible, understandable, and fun for Kids ages 5-10. We run hands-on science classes, camps, workshops, and birthday parties for children at different locations all over CA. Most programs are ONE HOUR after school and start around 2-4 PM. Many days, but not all, have the option of back to back hours at a location. We're looking for AWESOME and ENTHUSIASTIC Professors for our program!
REQUIREMENTS:
1) Be FUN, have lots of ENERGY, and be POSITIVE. Improv Actors and those with outgoing personalities are perfect.
2) Have experience working with children.
3) Have a consistently reliable way to get to and from job sites in a timely manner and transport materials (usually in a 2 x 3ft rolling bin).
4) Be able to commit to an entire semester of classes, which is approximately 3 months depending on season: Winter (January-March); Spring (April-June); Summer (July-August); Fall (September-December).
5) Pass a background check.
You DO NOT need any background in science, just a great attitude, a natural curiosity and the ability to work well with children. We train you and training is paid!
For this specific program we are looking for multiple candidates to act as either the Lead Professor making $75 per 1 hour session or act as the Assist Professor making $50 per 1 hour session. All roles must have general availability on all 5 weekdays Monday-Friday 2-5p to cover 5-10 sessions each week. The afterschool program will approximately run from 3/17-4/25 (6 weeks).
If hired for a Substitute role in this specific area, you must have general availability M-F 1-5p to act as a potential Substitute in the afterschool program. A substitute role does not have a specific schedule or guarantee of hours as the position is dependent upon covering when another Professor is not able to make it to their scheduled lesson(s) that day. However, there is always opportunity to transition into a regular role should sessions become available.
If you meet all requirements, please apply with your resume. If qualified, we will contact you to set up an interview.
