Wonder what it takes to make an effective blog, wiki, podcast, or web video on a scientific topic? Tomorrow's scientists will have to know.

To develop ways to train university science students in how to create such 'new media', we need a part-time project officer for a multi-university effort.

The position is funded by a grant from the Australian Learning and Teaching Council, one of a dozen or so such grants awarded this year. We are just over a month into a two-year project.

The project officer is at the heart of the effort. You will coordinate the work of the four project principals, assisting in finding and refining teaching materials, maintaining communication with others interested in the project, and helping this effort to 'snowball'.

If you have a background in science, a keen interest in education, curiosity about new media, good organizational ability, and a nice touch with people, then contact us, obtain a position description, and send your CV.

This is a part time (14 hours per week) fixed term appointment available for the remaining 10 months of the first phase of the project, with a possibility of renewal for the Second phase for another 12 months. We may hire one person at two days per week or two individuals, possibly at different sites, at one day per week each.

Applicants should systematically address the selection criteria in their application.

Having read all the documentation you may then direct any enquiries to Dr Will Rifkin on (61 2) 9385 2748 or willrifkin@unsw.edu.au
