Overview
The Department of Mathematics seeks to employ a Graduate Quantitative Fellow (GQF) to serve as a resource for students seeking help with mathematics, statistics, and quantitative reasoning.
Though they will principally reside within the math department, they will be available more generally to serve graduate students across the university, working for 2 hours a week in the College of Graduate Studies and providing additional support via teleconferencing platforms, emails, workshops, and so forth.
The GQF will be proficient with mathematical and statistical software like Mathematica, MATLAB, SPSS, and R, as well as the Microsoft Office Suite, and will preferably have some background in coding and / or AI too.
They will have a strong foundation in mathematics and a demonstrated ability to learn new skills but will also have the support of a mathematics faculty member who can provide additional guidance when needed.
In addition to supplying a much-needed resource for the department, college, and university at large, the experience will help prepare the GQF for a quantitative career upon graduating.
Duties
- Work 10 hours per week with graduate students seeking assistance with quantitative reasoning
- Of the 10 hours, work 2 hours per week at the College of Graduate Studies with graduate students from various academic disciplines where quantitative reasoning and research skills are needed
- Assist students with quantitative reasoning projects via teleconferencing platforms, emails, telephone calls
- Provide quantitative reasoning assistance, as relevant, to all students in specific academic programs through workshops, newsletters, quantitative reasoning tips, Blackboard, classroom visits
- Attend monthly training meetings presented by the Director of the Graduate Writing / Quantitative Fellowship Program
Requirements
- Be enrolled in at least 6 graduate credits each fall and spring semester
- Demonstrate strong knowledge in quantitative reasoning, mathematics, and statistics as tools to answer research questions
