The Center for STEM Excellence at Eastern Kentucky University seeks to hire students from any major as Learning Assistants. Learning Assistants (LAs) will support student learning in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) courses. LAs work on-campus with students one-on-one, in small groups, and may facilitate workshops on problem-solving strategies, study skills, exam preparation, and related topics. Some LAs may be assigned up to three sections of an undergraduate STEM lecture or laboratory course and will work with the instructor and STEM Center Personnel to facilitate in-class and/or out-of-class learning experiences. Specific duties will vary based on the course, the LA’s areas of expertise, and students’ learning needs. Additional duties will include active participation in weekly staff meetings, active participation in professional development workshops, and some tutoring in their preferred subject area(s). The STEM Center offers flexible scheduling to work with your course schedules.
