Job Description:

This recruitment will be used to fill one part-time (a maximum of 24 hours per week during academic terms and a maximum of 40 hours per week during academic breaks) Student Content Creator Assistant position for the College of Education Communications Department at Oregon State University (OSU).

This position provides excellent customer service support for the staff, faculty, administration, students, and alumni of the College of Education. The position is an on-site position at the Corvallis campus with the option for some hybrid work. Candidates must show an aptitude in creating fun, engaging and informative digital content from a student perspective for use on the CoEd social media channels and website.

The College of Education contributes to major national dialogues concerning research and the promotion of social justice in (1) the success of English language learners of all ages; (2) developmentally appropriate pedagogy for all ages; (3) learning in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics inside and outside of school; (4) the preparation of mental health and school counselors; (5) adult and higher education leadership. We develop change agents in the form of formal and informal educators, counselors, and leaders. These change agents identify issues and act towards social justice and the full development of human potential and society.

As a part of the Division of Arts and Sciences, we support the division’s campus-wide role in providing a well-rounded, compelling educational experience. Our work seeks to enhance and extend the historic democratic mission of public education: to prepare all citizens, across their lifetime for full participation in a culturally diverse and technical world. This position, as with all positions within the College of Education, is directly responsible for advancing the mission of the College.
