Multiple Positions Available

Positions Available (Spring 2023):

• We will work with fellows to create an outreach or teaching opportunity that is mutually beneficial. Classes can be taught in person or could also occur via Zoom or a similar online platform. These can range in length from 2 hours to multi-session courses of a few hours each. Courses are typically drawn from the fields of Biotechnology, Molecular Biology, Microbiology, Synthetic Biology, Genetics, Neuroscience, Science Communication.
  • Fellows have the option to teach a course that has been previously developed. PowerPoint slides and protocols will be provided to the fellows as they are available.
  • Fellows have the option to develop and pilot a course centered around your own research specialty. We encourage these to be hands on, but our lab operates at Biosafety Level 1. For those developing their own courses, help is available to develop teaching materials and ensure that they are at the appropriate level for the target audience.

BUGSS is a nonprofit science organization that offers courses, seminars, and workshops directly to the PowerPoint slides and protocols will be provided to the fellows as they are available. For those developing their own courses or teaching for the first time, help is available to develop teaching materials and ensure that they are at the appropriate level for the target audience.
