Job requirements for Computational Physics Preceptors for PHYS-370: - Extensive coding/computational experience is expected. - must have completed some Physics coursework. Physics majors are preferred, but this could also be a good opportunity for a junior/senior CS or Math major! - time commitment: about 6 hours per week or more. - must be able to attend at one of the lab sessions (and should attend lectures periodically, if possible) - ability to relate well to other students - attending ongoing training sessions offered by the MAX Center is recommended. This training covers STEM specific tutoring practice and protocols. To apply and be considered for a Computational Physics position, please contact Professor Tonnis ter Veldhuis for details and cc: Brian Adams. Job requirements for MACRO/Astronomy Preceptors Completion of an original research experience in astronomy; declared astronomy emphasis physics major; extensive knowledge of the python software package and collaborative coding tools. Familiarity with RLMT scheduling and operations is a plus, and it is highly desirable if the candidates are also computer science double majors. (Preceptors that are assigned to PHYS-440, or working in the Macalester Observatory must have completed PHYS-440.) PHYS-440 preceptors will be expected to attend some training sessions for STEM tutors offered by the MAX Center. Interested MACRO/Astronomy Preceptor applicants should email Prof. John Cannon and Prof. Anna Williams, and cc: Brian Adams. By applying for these positions, the Physics and Astronomy department may contact the Title IX and Nondiscrimination Office to inquire about an applicant's disciplinary status with the college. Current or past policy violations do not automatically disqualify or exclude an applicant from this selection process. However, they may be taken into consideration. |
