We are looking for an enthusiastic membership coordinator to welcome new members and introduce them to the community. We already have a well-established process for handling new memberships, and would like someone to take this on as a specific role.
There is scope to tailor this role to suit you; if you prefer to handle exclusively more administrative tasks, this can be arranged, but we would ideally like you to get involved with giving tours and inductions as well (usually held on Monday evenings before regular ‘Lab It Monday’ events).
Advantages:
-
Free individual membership of Biomakespace (usually £20 per month)
-
Help a volunteer-run citizen science and open data community
-
Good opportunity to meet local Cambridge entrepreneurs, makers and professionals.
-
Scope to join in with ongoing lab projects and use new technologies such as DNA sequencing, CRISPR gene editing, 3D-printers, and molecular biology techniques.
Responsibilities:
-
Friendly, enthusiastic and able to talk with people from a range of different backgrounds
-
Able to take initiative / make ‘common sense’ decisions
-
Organised and comfortable with administrative tasks
-
Ideally able to commit to 3 months+ in the role
-
Interested in synthetic biology and citizen science initiatives
-
Ideally has some post-16 biology education, but this is not a requirement
-
Must be aged over 18
