Position Description
The DNA Learning Center (DNALC) of Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory has an immediate full-time educator position available at its new DNALC NYC in downtown Brooklyn. Located on the campus of the New York City College of Technology (City Tech), the 17,500 square foot facility has six teaching labs, two computer classrooms, and an interactive museum exhibit. We are looking for a dynamic, engaging educator to join our team as we expand operations in Brooklyn.

Responsibilities will include:

- providing hands-on genetics and molecular biology instruction to precollege students attending academic year field trips and summer camps;

- presenting public tours;

- delivering in-school instruction;

- assisting with extended student research projects;

- conducting teacher training;

- developing lab-based curriculum.

You will become part of a dynamic, influential research and education group recognized worldwide as a leader in creating new methods in genetics and biotechnology instruction. Over 700,000 students have conducted experiments with DNALC staff-join our team as we aim to reach a million and more! For more information, browse the DNALC's website at .

The position demands a motivated self-starter - with excellent writing, computer, and communication skills - who can work independently and as part of a team. Flexible scheduling will require some weekend work. Occasional travel between DNALC facilities and to local schools may be required for training or instruction.
