The selected applicant will direct, guide, and facilitate PCCM faculty involvement in education outreach to meet the requirements of PCCM. This position develops and manages partnerships with other departments and programs, enhances and conducts existing education outreach efforts related to higher education (e.g. REU program, Summer School, etc.). The successful candidate will be experienced in enhancing Diversity, Equity and Inclusion efforts. This position directs the development of education content and supervises all outreach short-term professionals, volunteers, student employees and others.

A teaching certification and/or degree in a materials science related area (Engineering, Chemistry, Physics, …) is required.

The ability to communicate clearly and directly is essential as this position requires strong verbal and written communication skills, project management and independent decision-making skills; familiarity with non-profit organizations and educational efforts in urban environments.

The position must manage the balance among: the expectations of PCCM grant requirements, University policy, and legal requirements; the demands and availability of University researchers, scientists, undergraduates and graduate students; the organizational structures of informal and formal science education; the needs and concerns of various community organizations. The intersection of the above requires the ability to negotiate effectively among very diverse groups with differing objectives.
