The Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) is a major force in advancing biomedical research and science education. We have an exciting fellowship opportunity in HHMI’s Educational Resources Group (ERG) in the Science Education Department at the Institute’s headquarters in Chevy Chase, MD.
The Science Education Fellow will work as a member of the ERG team to produce a broad range of multimedia science education materials, including animations, short films, virtual laboratories, and classroom activities and lesson plans, designed primarily for high school and college audiences. The resources are available free of charge at BioInteractive.org, a website dedicated to providing supplemental teaching materials for the science classroom. In addition to developing science education content, the Science Education Fellow will play an active role in outreach and evaluation efforts, participating with the team in planning, implementing, and critiquing projects. Each year HHMI’s ERG produces dozens of educational resources and conducts professional development workshops involving over 3,000 high school science teachers. The tenure of the fellowship is for one year with a possibility for renewal of an additional year.
Candidates must have a strong science background and experience in science teaching and/or educational outreach. The ERG works in a fast moving, deadline-driven, collaborative environment. Candidates should have strong time-management skills and a proven track record of prioritizing and handling multiple projects.
