It will involve simulations and specific coursework. We require someone who has completed at least a Bachelor’s degree and is interested in curriculum development. You will support the coordination of educational programs and the scheduling of events.

Experienced candidates with experience in virtual learning or online teaching are preferred, those who have assisted with education taught on Zoom or online.
