Job Summary

The Vagelos Computational Science Center (CSC) is hiring Computing Fellows for the 2023-2024 academic year. Computing Fellows assist in the development of computing-related workshops and other resources and work with specific courses and/or course projects, with a particular focus on helping to develop computational projects and in-class activities. Applicants should have an interest in peer teaching, some experience coding, and most importantly, a strong willingness to learn. Successful candidates will be “attached” to a Barnard course with a computational component, assist faculty and students, and/or develop a workshop related to the topic of the course with assistance from the CSC and the fellow cohort.

Job Description

Barnard Computing Fellows are undergraduate peer academic leaders who assist in the development and execution of CSC workshops and other projects. Fellows are also “attached” to specific courses where they support the instructor and students in the course. Fellows can meet with students for one-on-one conferences as they embark on a computational project, hold general office hours, or lead interactive computing workshops for the students in or outside of class. Fellows participate in training and workshops, including activities to further development of computational skills, pedagogy workshops, and topics around the interactions of computing and society.

We particularly encourage applications from juniors and experienced sophomores, so that they might continue as a Computing Fellow in future years. 

Skills, Qualifications And Requirements

Candidates must meet the following required qualifications:

  • Interest in peer teaching.
  • Capability in coding, demonstrated through the completion of Advanced Programming or an alternate upper-level coding course.  We are open to applicants who demonstrate coding capability in other ways, such as through significant independent projects.
  • Ability to communicate clearly. 
  • Must be a currently enrolled student in good standing.  

Additional preferred qualifications include:

  • Teaching experience in coding or a willingness to learn.   
  • Peer teaching experience at a collegiate level.

We particularly encourage applications from juniors and experienced sophomores, so that they might continue as a Computing Fellow in future years.
