Moderator Vacancies: November 2015

Hello! Itโ€™s us! Weโ€™re looking for moderators for our November 2015 events! Iโ€™m a Scientist and Iโ€™m an Engineer are award-winning online events allowing students (from 9 โ€“ 18) to interact with real live scientists and engineers. Weโ€™re looking for 2 moderators to work on the next event which will run from the 9th to the 20th November 2015. We will also be running Iโ€™m a Scientist and Iโ€™m an Engineer in Ireland.

Your key responsibilities will be:

  • checking and approving questions
  • adding appropriate keywords and tags
  • logging and keeping track of questions, comments and dialogue
  • checking the site for errors and inappropriate content and usernames
  • moderating live chats
  • 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, am I right?!

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 (THIS IS IMPORTANT)
  • You 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.

Extra bonus things weโ€™d like, but arenโ€™t hugely important..

  • A sense of humor
  • The ability to multitask
  • Interested in discussing your lunch

Please send a CV and short covering letter ASAP (by Monday 26th October 2015), to Emily at emily@gallomanor.com, telling us why you think youโ€™d be a good moderator.

  • Dates: 9th โ€“ 20th November (Monday โ€“ Friday)
  • Hours: 37.5/week, 08.30-16.00 GMT
  • Pay: ยฃ8/hr

You can (and should) find out more about the events at: Iโ€™m a Scientist UK and Ireland and Iโ€™m an Engineer UK and Ireland.

You donโ€™t need to..
Phone us because thatโ€™s what your careers officer said you should do.
Send a CV comprising more than 2 pages, with font smaller than 10pt or 2mm margins.
