Iโm a Scientist, Get me out of here is an award-winning online event allowing teenagers to interact with real live scientists. Weโre looking for 4 moderators to work on the next event which will run from the 11th to the 22nd of March 2013. We will also be running a zone in Iโm an Engineer at the same time, which will also need moderating.
Your key responsibilities will be will be:
- hosting/moderating live chats
- approving questions
- checking the site for errors and inappropriate content
- helping to run the site
Itโs actually a lot of fun as the students (and scientists) are quick and funny and full of energy. And hey, promoting science engagement is a good thing.
What weโd like from you..
- You should be bright, pick stuff up easily, ideally with an interest in science engagement.
- Youโll have great attention to detail and will enjoy being online, perhaps have experience in an online community.
- The site is all built on WordPress, so if youโve used that the techy stuff will be pretty familiar.
- Youโd be working from home, so you must also have broadband which doesnโt die every 10 minutes.
Please send a CV and short covering letter ASAP (by Friday 2nd March), to Emily at emily@gallomanor.com, telling us why you think youโd be a good moderator.
- Dates: 11th โ 22nd March (Monday โ Friday)
- Hours: 37.5/week, 08.30-16.00 GMT
- Pay: ยฃ7.50/hr
