Job Description
The Systems Engineering Research Center (SERC) seeks an individual with versatile technical and creative skills for a dual role on its communications team.
SERC is a university affiliated research center (UARC) of the United States Department of War, headquartered at Stevens Institute of Technology and including faculty researchers at more than 25 universities nationwide.
Qualifications, Responsibilities, and Organizational Culture
With 5+ years of experience, the ideal candidate has expertise for creating and editing WordPress pages on the SERC website to elevate the site's visual appeal, organization of information, and user experience. Basic graphic design experience is required with programs like Photoshop and Canva. A related task involves uploading reports and updating information on the SERC research database.
This dual role also calls for an ability to access, organize, analyze, and present website data from Google Analytics. The ideal candidate will have a sense of how communication integrates with and evolves through technology and can analyze data to contribute ideas and strategies.
SERC uses AI tools but holds human judgement at the top. The ideal candidate should know how to use AI as a guide, or to save time on basic tasks, but will retain a keen eye for oversight.
Accuracy is essential for names, titles, technical terms, and other details. Periodically, projects require quick action on new priority directives.
An exceptional candidate will have experience running virtual events on Zoom, as well as familiarity with Amazon Web Services.
The SERC team is diverse in numerous ways. The ideal candidate must be comfortable interacting with a mosaic of skill sets. Many interactions will be virtual due to the team's national reach. This role is open to the best candidate wherever they live, though being able to commute to the SERC office in Hoboken, NJ, is a plus. This role may require periodic travel for SERC events in the Washington, DC area or to other locales.
How to Apply
To apply, please submit a resume, a self-written cover letter, and at least three examples of technical and/or creative work (professional or personal) accessible online.
