Work from Home Strategic Biology Research Consultant


The Constitution Foundation, a private foundation focused on free online education, seeks two individuals in the Washington, DC area (preferably with a graduate degree in Biology) to work from home and fill the position of strategic research consultant.  You will be creating unique course outlines to serve as a guideline for the typical domain covered by a general undergraduate Biology degree program.

From the ad: More specifically, you will:

1. Determine the individual courses generally required for an undergraduate Biology degree
2. Create comprehensive course outlines and descriptions for each course using existing discoverable outlines and educational resources
3. Identify Open Educational Resources (OERs) that satisfy various elements of each course
4. Identify gaps in the curriculum unsatisfied by OERs currently in existence
5. Catalyze the submission and/or creation of missing curriculum through public relations efforts, OER and University community outreach, private partnerships and a contest with a monetary reward.

An undergraduate degree in Biology is strongly preferred. You must be able to analyze and synthesize data and draft quality written materials and correspondence. You also must have strong written communication skills, attention to detail, and the ability to identify and resolve problems with minimum supervision. A strong interest in education and social change is a plus.  Compensation is $15 to $20 per hour, based upon experience.  A  minimum of 10 hours per week is required.  If interested in this telecommute opportunity, please email: job-5r968-1469129280@craigslist.org.
