[news]: UW Today: Decline of natural history troubling for science, society
http://www.washington.edu/news/2014/03/26/decline-of-natural-history-troubling-for-science-society/
Find out more about what ENVIR 280 teachers Josh Tewksbury and Tim Billo have been up to! ENVIR 280 is an introductory natural history course, and is offered annually in spring quarter. This year we will be offering another section of this popular course in autumn 2014.
The DIG Field School wishes to hire an individual for hourly work with pay rate dependent on experience level.
The tasks/responsibilities involved would be best categorized under the job description of a program assistant. Our field school takes place in the summer (Jul 31-Aug 4), but the lead up to this involves a lot of different tasks, from weeding through teacher applicants, composing emails to participants, taking meeting notes for the DIG team, pulling together handouts for the teachers, acquiring equipment/supplies for the field school, possibly lesson development and curriculum evaluation, etc.
The duration of the appointment would start ASAP and likely be until the field school in July and if things worked out well could extend beyond that, with approximately 10 hours per week (although the work does ebb and flow).
If you are interested in this opportunity, contact Dr. Greg
Wilson<gpwilson@u.washington.edu> and
Lauren Debay <laurendebey@gmail.com>.
