I’m a Scientist, Get me out of here is an award-winning online event allowing teenagers to interact with real live scientists. We’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 I’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

It’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 we’d like from you..

• You should be bright, thoughtful, pick stuff up easily, ideally with an interest in science engagement.
• You’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 you’ve used that the techy stuff will be pretty familiar.
• You’d be working from home, so you must also have broadband which doesn’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 you’d be a good moderator.

• Dates: 17th – 28th June (Monday – Friday)
• Hours: 37.5/week, 08.30-16.00 GMT
• Pay: £7.50/hr
