Job Description
We have an exciting opportunity for six undergraduate students who are about to start their second year of studies in the School of Engineering and Materials Science (SEMS). The role will be for a duration of 12 months for approximately 4 hours per week at a rate of £14.15 per hour plus holiday pay.
This represents an excellent opportunity for undergraduate students to develop organizational and research skills and join the local and global community of undergraduate researchers. The students will be enrolled within an academic team dedicated to setting up the Queen Mary Centre for Undergraduate Research (QMCUR) as co-creators under the supervision of Dr Giuseppe Viola and collaborators. Additionally, they will be engaged in carrying out scientific research activities in collaboration with a research group. They will be appointed for a duration of 12 months during which they will work approximately 4 hours per week compensated for their work at a rate of £19.20 per hour before taxes. The appointment will start from Week 1 of the academic year 2023-2024 and the work will be carried out in SEMS and remotely on a flexible basis.
Duties and responsibilities
For setting up and build the QMCUR, the co-creators will undertake different roles within the team and should work towards achieving the following objectives:
- Establish a culture of undergraduate research in SEMS among academics and students.
- Promote the QMCUR centre among academics and peers in SEMS, Faculty, QMUL, and beyond.
- Provide support and guidance to peer students interested in performing research.
- Contribute to the development of schemes to assess how research activities have impacted the experiential learning, attributes, and professional skills of the undergraduate students involved.
- Organize symposia and events for dissemination of undergraduate research activities.
- Encourage participation to undergraduate research events, such as Posters in Parliament, World and British Conference of Undergraduate Research (WCUR/BCUR), International Conference of Undergraduate Research (ICUR, https://www.icurportal.com/) and similar conferences.
- Create an "editorial board" for an internal newsletter or eventually an interdisciplinary journal for dissemination of undergraduate research, taking inspiration from international journals like “Reinvention” based at Warwick University (https://reinventionjournal.org/index.php/reinvention/), and many others from most universities in the United States.
For the research activities they will engage with the relevant research groups and contribute to their research activities and projects.
