JOB TITLE: LabVenture Educator - (2 positions open)
SUPERVISOR: LabVenture Visit Manager
Pay Grade: 3 Pay Grade Range: $40,019- $58,448
Starting Salary Range: $23/hour
Overview:
The Gulf of Maine Research Institute (GMRI) develops and delivers collaborative solutions to global ocean challenges. We are dedicated to the resilience of the Gulf of Maine ecosystem and the communities that depend on it. To learn more, visit gmri.org.
The LabVenture Program brings around 10,000 5th or 6th grade students in the state of Maine, from all 16 counties, to the Cohen Center for Interactive Learning (CCIL) for a two-and-a-half-hour hands-on science experience. LabVenture Educators host visiting students, facilitating a customized, multimedia marine science research program. Educators will work together as a team and with the Visit and Program Managers to run the day-to-day operations of the CCIL.
Educators will be responsible for up to six 2.5 hour in-person programs each week as well as virtual programming as needed. Program duties include working with the LabVenture team to welcome the students, deliver/lead student presentations/discussions, assist students while they conduct research at their multi-touch research tables, monitor for and troubleshoot errors, monitor “chats,” and operate the "behind-the-scenes" technology.
Educators will also be responsible for preparing equipment and supplies, maintaining the Cohen Center, cleaning after each visit, and other responsibilities and tasks as they arise.
Each presentation is different and dynamic, necessitating extraordinary skills in preparation, improvisation, and response to the audience. A comfort with technology is a must for both in-person and virtual programs.
The LabVenture staff is a collaborative and creative team that works together to build, grow, and evolve the LabVenture learning experience. The team is driven by big ideas and has big goals. In addition to the day-to-day operations of the CCIL and student visits, this position will spend approximately 8 hours a week helping maintain our animals and life support system, collaborating with scientists and educators to continue our Scientist to Go series, and supporting program efforts across the Education department, including but are not limited to teacher communications, event support, and data collection.
Desired Start Date for this position is early August, 2024.
