<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Our grant team with Project Keep (PIs: Drs. Raquel Rall, Frances Valdovinos, and Austin Johnson) is excited to announce a multi-year hourly employment opportunity for graduate students. The time commitment for this position is
<b>20 hours per week</b>, and the compensation is <b>$20/hour</b>. Since local travel is a core component of this position, mileage and parking fees incurred as part of work duties will be reimbursed. Work will commence as soon as the hire is finalized, and
will continue through <b>Summer 2024 into the 2024-25 and 2025-26 academic years</b>.
<span style="background:yellow;mso-highlight:yellow">Applications for this position are due May 17<sup>th</sup>.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Project KEEP is a collaboration between school districts, community colleges, UCR, and the SOE’s Teacher Education program. Our goal is to build educational partnerships and pipelines in order to increase and diversify the teacher workforce
in the Inland Empire. This position would be responsible for supporting UCR’s partnership with Riverside City College (RCC) through duties including intensive coaching of high school and community college students enrolled at RCC. Knowledge of the community-college
transfer process and experience working with high-school- and college-age students is preferred. This position will regularly use technology (e.g., Microsoft Office, Google Suite) to create, manage, and organize data pertaining to their work. Reliable transportation
is required, as this position will be expected to travel to high-school and community-college campuses to individually meet with students, with consistent travel to and from the RCC campus. Virtual meetings will also be a component of this position. Reliable
transportation will be necessary, as this position will largely be based on the RCC campus near downtown Riverside.<o:p></o:p></p>
