  • VINE Research Assistant

    University of Agriculture Faisalabad

    Research associate job in Fairbanks, AK

    If quality of education matters to you, this part-time research assistant position is an opportunity to grow professionally while contributing to Alaska's K-12 classrooms. You will join a team of committed educators who care about equity, students, teachers, and a large network of Alaskan educational stakeholders. You will have a front row seat to the behinds-the-scene work that goes into supporting teachers in Alaska in both urban and rural Alaska. ASMP has been in existence for 20 years, is a value-added service to the state for which you will be very proud to be connected. Working for the University provides an opportunity to gain college credit, earn a degree, and perhaps become a teacher yourself! This is an opportunity for someone with a strong work ethic, who genuinely cares for our youth and statewide education. You will be part of a bigger collective efficacy movement towards creating equity in the classroom. You will be the data-collector, analyzer, and one who helps demonstrate the value-added nature of ASMP. The Alaska Statewide Mentor Project (ASMP) is a statewide service supporting teachers in order to provide a quality education with equity to all students in Alaska's K-12 classrooms. The VINE mission targets teachers with experience and new to Alaska, while also exploring how teaching through culture impacts students' Social Emotional Learning (SEL). ASMP has successfully worked with teachers new to the profession. Now VINE expands this work to include ‘experienced' teachers who are new to our beautiful state. VINE provides context for these new arrivals, supports and guides them to more quickly understanding education in Alaska is a unique opportunity to learn while teaching. VINE also emphasizes place-based education, underscoring the contextual need for these newly arrived educators to Alaska. This position is a key support for ASMP's value-added service to the state. The opportunity to learn a variety of additional skill sets is limitless: research processes, Alaska-specific context, what it means to be part of a team that believes in collective efficacy, how to maintain a growth mindset, be flexible, and mostly contribute to a cause greater than yourself. Data is an essential element to ASMP. Your record-keeping contributes heavily to future grant-writing and successful funding. Data is the backbone of our work-this position is key, an essential position at ASMP-to be taken quite seriously. Documenting research, tracking data, analyzing that data, reporting on that data, and helping ‘nonresearchers' If you could talk to those who have been doing this work for the past 20 years, the majority will share it is the best job they've ever had and because of the love of this work, they do not feel like it is work. Most feel they are contributing to the future leaders in our state. Ability to work independently and as a team member in a fast-paced environment. Strong oral and written communication skills including the ability to follow through on tasks, and ask clarifying questions. Sound professional judgment and discretion, capacity to maintain the strictest of confidentiality. The ability to plan and organize on both a daily and long-term basis. Ability to follow directions given by supervisors or co-workers. Ability to file and track information in a relational database. Attention to detail is paramount. Excellent computer skills with various software programs to include databases, spreadsheets, and word processing programs (Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Google).
