June 2013 Moderator Job Vacancies

Iโ€™m a Scientist, Get me out of here is an award-winning online event allowing teenagers to interact with real live scientists. Weโ€™re looking for 6 moderators to work on the next event which will run from the 17th to the 28th of June 2013. We will also be running 2 zones in Iโ€™m an Engineer at the same time, which will also need moderating.

Your key responsibilities will be will be:

  • hosting/moderating live chats
  • approving questions
  • looking after your zones
  • logging and keeping track of great questions, comments and dialogue
  • checking the site for errors and inappropriate content
  • helping to run the site

Itโ€™s 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 weโ€™d like from you..

  • You should be bright, thoughtful, pick stuff up easily, ideally with an interest in science engagement.
  • Youโ€™ll 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 youโ€™ve used that the techy stuff will be pretty familiar.
  • Youโ€™d be working from home, so you must also have broadband which doesnโ€™t die every 10 minutes.

Please send a CV and short covering letter ASAP (by Monday 3rd June 2013), to Emily at emily@gallomanor.com, telling us why you think youโ€™d be a good moderator.

  • Dates: 17th โ€“ 28th June (Monday โ€“ Friday)
  • Hours: 37.5/week, 08.30-16.00 GMT
  • Pay: ยฃ7.50/hr

You can (and should) find out more about the events at: imascientist.org.uk and imanengineer.org.uk. You might also want to read this โ€“ on what kind of thing weโ€™re looking for.

UPDATE
