Job title: Machine Learning Mentor (Remote and part-time)
Company: SureStart
Job description: AI and Machine Learning Mentor (paying up to $35/hr & remote)
Do you remember that person who made you realize your true potential?
The one who championed you while you traversed the path towards academic or professional success.
Your mentor. Maybe you had one, or even several, if you were very lucky!
If you are a grad student with machine learning skills, SureStart is offering YOU the chance to pay that mentorship forward by helping newer students develop machine learning and AI skills. It will also help you develop your leadership skills and experience — all while getting paid for your efforts!
This summer we are collaborating with the MIT Media Lab to host a very exciting 6-week AI program called the MIT FutureMakers Create-a-Thon! This program will bring together students from across the US to create a deliberately diverse group of learners, who are developing skills related to applied machine learning, affective computing, app development and entrepreneurship through a virtual program led by grad-student mentors.
Your role will be crucial in this Create-a-thon!
Your responsibilities will be to:
- Train, support and encourage a small group of four to five students as they develop Machine Learning or Affective Computing skills using the program curriculum.
- Help them use those skills to build a final AI-based project to complete the program.
- Day-to-day you will interact with your group of trainees through regular meetings.
- Keep your group accountable for finishing their prior day’s tasks.
- Help unblock them when they are stuck by pointing them to resources, showing them how to debug code and/or giving them helpful hints to discover the answer on their own.
The curricula for the program will be provided and you will be trained in how to mentor effectively. You will be supported in your work by the program manager and a head mentor.
Requirements for applicants
- Passionate about teaching and mentoring younger students; especially invested in mentoring students from backgrounds under-represented in science and technology.
- Must be currently enrolled as Masters or Phd students in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Data Science/Analytics, Machine Learning, or similar fields. Recent graduates are also welcome to apply.
- Applicants must be proficient in programming; Python preferred but not required.
- Proven Experience in using Machine learning for Computer Vision, Speech or Natural Language Processing applications, or
- Proven experience with Human Computer Interaction, front-end design, UI/UX development or app design.
- Experience in Affective Computing will be great to have; but not required.
- Willing and able to commit to 6-8 hours per week during the first three weeks of the program. Additional 1-2 hours may be required on some Saturdays to assist student teams for Create-a-thon prep.
- Excellent interpersonal and communication skills.
Benefits
- You will deepen your technical skills (look up ‘protege effect’)
- Work on exciting, challenging and incredibly rewarding work critical to the future of ethical AI
- Build up your CV with real-world leadership and management experience – years ahead of your classmates!
- Get trained in mentorship and professional skills, including communication, self-branding, entrepreneurship, equitable leadership, and more
- Attend technical skills talks by industry professionals
- Be an integral part of an impactful movement towards opportunity, equity and representation
- Valuable networking opportunities with industry leaders within enterprise, tech and academia
It is a win-win for you and your trainees. So if you are interested, apply today!
